This is the response I received from a family member [View all]

When I told him Jimmy Carter died. He is a Jesuit high school graduate, and an avowed atheist who detests American foreign policy.

“Compared with the rest he was a living Saint. By far the greatest President in our lifetime and quite possibly the best ever”.

Food for thought. Damn Jimmy was a good man.
