Former President Jimmy Carter was hospitalized Monday for surgery to relieve pressure on his brain after a series of falls. He is currently recovering after the procedure, according to the Carter Center.
Jimmy Carter represents the best of America’s values. A great man who’s led an exemplary life post-Presidency. I’ll bet he’s still greatly admired by people all over the world for his words and deeds.
A speedy recovery, Mr. President. Ever since I read your charming “An Outdoor Life” I can’t help seeing you as a kind of favorite if surrogate uncle, a friend and fishing buddy. So get your resilient self back on your feet and back at it.
I’m sure after such a long life, he’s probably ready to shuffle off this mortal coil. But at the risk of seeming terribly selfish, I really want him to hang on for a couple more years. If we would lose him during this administration, something in me would break worse than it already has broken.
When it’s his time, I hope it happens with a Democratic President in office. President Carter deserves to have the full honor of the office restored before he leaves, and no Republican President can ever do that.
Agreed. At some point Trump would just blurt out something snide or demeaning that would attempt to direct attention back to himself at Carter’s expense.
In the end, there’s nothing that Trump could do to diminish Pres. Carter, but it would be nice to be spared the noise he creates while diminishing himself.
I just hope Current Occupant has the good sense to keep Pres. Jimmy Carter’s name out of his mouth No. Matter. What. I don’t want him saying one damned thing about a living legend who is an American icon. Current Occupant just needs to stand aside and watch how greatness is lived and appreciated.
Beat me to it. Making my annual donation to the Carter Center happened to be at the top of my to-do list when I saw the news. He’s not only a good man, he puts that good into practice.
