God bless you always, Jimmy Carter. You set the bar for decency, compassion and vision that many will never understand, but for which good citizens of the world will be forever grateful.

Delusional nonsense.

Sad news for me- and my late mom who provides all the funding for our organization. I went to high school in Atlanta, and have been inspired by his work all my life. His life and legacy will always inspire underdogs around the world #projectunderdoginternational

President Biden should rename Camp David (which was named for David Eisenhower, grandson of President Dwight Eisenhower and son-in-law of President Richard Nixon) Camp Carter ☮️

The first candidate for President I ever voted for, in 1980.

I've never regretted that decision.

I have a much less prestigious writing in wordpress, not *mine* really but here's a shot.

I would love to read your article but there’s a pay wall

It is not massively detailed.
Try Ask AI, then drill down a bit for more details, he was an excellent president.
He was hoping to bring in National Health Service in his 2nd term.
Makes a heartening research.

James - You are such a good writer that as soon as I see your name, I read what you wrote and this is no exception. This is one of the best tributes to Jimmy Carter from your young perspective when you wrote speeches for him and to you view now (explaining how he never really changed).

With Jimmy Carter’s passing we have lost a remarkable American. A former President who operated with integrity throughout his life, and a great humanitarian whose legacy through the Carter Center, and many other actions, show the very best America can offer. His service was a model for all.

This is a wonderful remembrance, and history lesson. Thank you.
