RIP

A great man who got unfairly tarnished owing in large part to the Iranian hostage crisis, he was my first presidential vote, and I always admired him so much for his post presidency so much, a real American, not easy to find those in some neighborhoods now...See you on the other side!

So that his passing will be treated with respect and dignity.

A good man died today

I was thinking about that last week. Is it bad that I hoped Carter would pass away while Biden was still president?? Trump would just fuck it all up and try to make it all about HIM. Ugh.

He would want to be lauded as if he were dead.

I got bad news for the dotard: only the MAGA would mourn his loss.

We respected and loved him and wanted him to be honored as he should be and we all knew that Biden will make sure of that.

I thought how sad that we are at a point where we know it would be tragic if he passed when the Trump horror show was in office. President Carter was the 2nd President I voted for and I remember how sad I was when he lost reelection to Reagan.

Born in 1953, luckily we got the Vote for 18 year old's in 1971.

1949 baby boomer 😊 Might be old on the outside but forever young on the inside!

"Thank you for all you did and go in peace, good sir."

God bless you, President Carter. You brought compassion and honesty into the White House, and really helped America turn the page after the Nixon era, beyond what even Gerald Ford was able to do.

Most of us didn’t come to appreciate Jimmy Carter until later in his life. He handled his electoral defeat with such grace and humility when he failed to win a second term.

And for many of us (myself included), he introduced us to Habitat for Humanity, demonstrating what honest, selfless service to others was all about. Even those who didn’t vote for him still understood what a genuinely good-hearted man he was.

Rest in peace, kind sir.

...he's stink up the memorial service with lies about the Panama Canal and patting himself on the back.

I read something about a VA law specifying that. Amusing, since a certain presidential inauguration is scheduled. Amusing, and appropriate.

But you know that Fuckhead won't give him a proper send off, so it would be best to leave him out of it.

I have never posted in LBN in the new format, don't know how to edit OP. (Figured it out. Sorry, folks. A bit shaken.)

in 1976. Loved this man and his morals and his values. Fair winds and following seas.
American hero but he belongs to the world.

is reported as of this post.

prior to the start of Packers/Vikings game.

When I read it, I looked it up and only AJC was reporting it. Just took a while.

(I had just posted an LBN OP around the same time)

Bless his noble soul.

Mr President.

Sending his family aloha. So thankful for him. May we return to the decency he showed.

Rest in Peace, Jimmy.

No human being on this planet deserves to be there more than this humble soul. Thank you, Jimmy, for your example, your service and your compassion.

and I too share your sentiments.

May this great man rest in peace

This Atlantan is very grateful for all President Carter did during his presidency and especially afterwards. Had the privilege to attend his Sunday School class in Plains. A great man. We shall miss him.

Your legacy was awesome.

…and for the nation.

And got to sign his birthday card.

About how he kept going, long after they thought he would pass. Finally come to DU and find out that he has taken his last breath.

What an incredible human being. We were so blessed to have him. He's taught us so much more than I think he could have ever imagined. Along with Rosalynn, they showed us how to take care of each other.

I have tears, but I also feel such a sense of pride in this man. Whatever comes next, if there is a next life, I hope it will be everything he wanted.

President Carter will get respect in DC. Something that would not happen with the next administration.

President Carter deserves all the respect we can give to him, in his memory, and in support of his family.

T would have found some perverted way to make it all about himself.

Not that I have any high hopes for that.

I'm not linking to the NY Post site, which is where google led me when I checked to see if he'd posted a comment.

My Gram passed away on this date in 1979.

I think I remember Jimmy's son saying he was determined to make it past Xmas... my grandmother was that way, too. They refused to die on a holiday that was so important to them... and to ruin it for those left behind from that point, on.

Cross gently, Jimmy. I'll not see another such honorable, gentle, and caring man such as you in my lifetime. RIP.

We all have a lot to live up to, and President Carter showed us a way

Rest in Peace

He spoke at a political event I attended. As I was waiting for my car after it was over, his limo came right by where I was standing and I waved at him through the tinted window ... I always thought he waved back at me.

Rest in peace, Mr. President. You lived your faith every day and are now home and with Rosalyn.

We will fight on. 🇺🇸🙏🏻😢

someone people could show their children to look up to.

Man that showed me how a president can be honest, live his faith without imposing it and live his values.
He was the last not to monetize his presidency.

I can’t help but be glad that it happened while Biden was still in the White House. Trump doesn’t deserve any role whatsoever in eulogizing this good man.

get up and run his mouth

Rest in peace, Mr. President.😢

You were the best.
Grace and peace to your family in this time

He was the first President I was old enough to vote for.

R.I.P.

While I knew it was coming. I am still sadder than I expected to be. It feels like the end of an era. I was l just 17 when he ran for President and was so disappointed that I was not able to vote for him. I voted for him in his bid for reelection. We all know how that turned out. I so admired him and his family. Honorable and trustworthy a dedication to service that truly exemplifies christian values. His body is at rest and he is reunited in his heavenly home with his beloved wife Rosalynn. Thank you and God Bless You President Carter.

I'm hoping Trump will not be there stinking up the place.

Family wishes and all that

That isn't how the Carter family does things. Not consistent with their Christian faith.

In fact just two weeks ago, Carter said he would attend Trump's inauguration if he was healthier.

would attend the Trump inaugural his health allowed it.

What a extraordinary man.

Such an honorable man

We've lost a great man...but I believe you've been reunited now with Rosalynn and other loved ones, and I'm picturing all of you young again, and smiling more than ever.

I served in the Navy under him. He was a good man, an excellent naval office, and a honorable president.

A life well lived full of service to humanity. The world is a better place for his having been here.

Rest well President Carter

Solar panels on the West Wing...

He got it back in'82.

Bush/Reagan removed the panels and booted the DOE out of the cabinet. Energy policy would be under George W. Bush. Always wondered about how the Bush family became really wealthy.

He was a great President who had so many dreams for this country and just think where’d we be if he got a second term and with his pushing solar power and renewal energy plan. Instead we got the awful Reagan which has led up to muskratump.

RIP President Carter and I know Rosalind was waiting for you in heaven.

May he go forth shining!

.......................

Rest in Peace, President Carter. You never stopped fighting to make this world a better place.

and the GOP managed to distract and disrupt the good path he had set for us and the world.

Not so very unlike how I feel about this recent election.

Rest In Peace..
