1. k and r..thanks for posting.

[applegrove]

2. Oh vibes. We still need him. The country still needs him. Lotta people don't know

but he had some knowledge of nuclear power from the navy and came to Chalk River in Ontario when there was a nuclear incident. He's has had quite a life so far.

(Edited to get rid of my assumption he was a scientist).

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. Wow, I didn't know that. n/t

[applegrove]

25. He was posted at a US base along the Ontario border and had some basic knowledge..

[BlancheSplanchnik]

29. Very cool, thanks!

[applegrove]

48. Apparently he just took a non credit course maybe at the naval academy.

Still he was brave and there to help.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

53. A non credit course and next he's checking on nuclear reactor accidents!

Pretty impressive!

[applegrove]

58. He was part of the US army activation. Apparently rumours about his nuclear

credentials were hyped during his elections though i can't imagine Jimmy doing that. Probably the politicos. Anyhow sorry. I thought it was a great story. Still is. You'd have to be brave to go towards a nuclear power plant in crisis anyways.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

59. Indeed!

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

102. He had been assigned as an engineering officer on board a nuclear sub

During Hyman Rickover's time as head of the nuclear navy. Rickover had an obsessive fixation on safety and quality control and demanded that the men who worked with nucs be trained and tested to extremely high standards. Carter once described himself as "a nuclear engineer", and since he served under Rickover, there was justice in his claim.

No, Carter was not just some Joe Blowe with a "non credit course" under his belt. He was an actual expert -- if he wasn't an expert, Rickover wouldn't have kept him.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

104. Thanks for the info!

[braddy]

43. The first president I voted for, but he wasn't a nuclear scientist, or even close, although he did

take a 6 month non-credit navy course covering nuclear power plant operation at Union College, he also never served on a nuclear sub, I hope he recovers.

[applegrove]

45. Oh dam. I got it a bit off. Can i call him nuclear curious? I heard about it

word of mouth. I think i've made this mistake before.

[braddy]

49. It isn't your fault, we were told that during his campaign, also that he commanded nuke subs.

[applegrove]

50. I was too young. Anyhow. Vibes to the best of the best for a speedy recovery.

[elleng]

3. :(

[hlthe2b]

4. Oh, no! Be well, Pres. Carter. Please be well.

[dware]

5. Oh No!!!!!

Sending prayers and vibes to him and his family.

[Different Drummer]

34. Same here.

DD

[Funtatlaguy]

6. Damn.

[Maru Kitteh]

7. This hurts. I love Jimmy Carter.

[blueinredohio]

19. Carter was the first president I voted for.

I've always thought he was one of the best. Prayers to you President Carter.

[MoonchildCA]

33. Me too!

I was 18 when he ran for his second term. I remember that election night well. I had such a huge lump in my throat and pit in my stomach as the results came in.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

67. Likewise. He was the first President I voted for.

At the time I was attending a local junior college. On election, the teacher of my psych course, at the beginning of class said,"I'm sure you all know that today is election, and I'm pretty sure you are old enough to vote. I want to encourage you to vote today. But please keep in mind, that a low voter turnout favors Republicans, so if you're a Republican, don't vote."

I was the ONLY person in the class who got it, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

[wnylib]

107. Carter was the 2nd time I voted for a Dem for ptesident.

My first time was in 1972. I was 18 in 1968 but the voting age was still 21 then. By the time it was changed to 18 before the 72 election, I was already over 21.

[lunatica]

8. Sending my most positive vibes!

He did have a bad bruise recently from a fall.

[bdamomma]

26. Geez

I wonder if this could be related to that fall. I hope he makes out okay, he's such a good man. Always helping people.

[lunatica]

30. I hope he's OK!

A bruise is when it bleeds under the skin. He was getting over it though. Maybe all that’s needed is easing the pressure a bit.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

9. Yo god -- this is one of the good guys !!

You can't have him yet, we still need him down here !

[Demovictory9]

10. ..

[Wiseman32218]

11. Thank You for Posting!!!!

I am praying for you President Carter!!!

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Come on, Mr. Carter. Hang on. We need you.

[Mendocino]

13. Jimmy

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. Oh dear.

He recently said he’s comfortable with the prospect of death.
I hope I’m wrong! 💙

[BootinUp]

16. I just wished that whatever is best for Jimmy

And his family, let that happen.

[Ilsa]

17. He's truly God's servant.

Wishing only the best for him and Roslynn.

[yonder]

18. A result of recent falls or meds therefrom?

Best wishes and positive energy your way, Mr. President.

[emmaverybo]

20. Oh no! The world needs you and Rosalyn needs you. May you be at peace and in comfort

with your loved ones, Mr. President.

[bluestarone]

21. Praying for you Jim!

[NoMoreRepugs]

22. President Carter has led an incredible and inspirational

life.... a man to be appreciated, admired and respected.
F@#$ any Faux News or Hate radio person who says otherwise.

[mcar]

23. This doesn't sound good

Prayers and healing thoughts to a very good man.

[sinkingfeeling]

24. Please get well.

[brettdale]

27. Thoughts with Jimmy Carter

A wonderful man. Hope he pulls though.

[Anon-C]

28. This President builds HOMES!

Please get better, Mr. PRESIDENT.

[George II]

31. Oh God no. What I pray for is that he's comfortable and without pain.

[BlueStater]

32. Damn.

I hope he pulls through. In the horrid era we live in now, he's a reminder that this country was once capable of putting decent human beings in the nation's highest office.

[JoeOtterbein]

35. I hope he will be better.

[Blue_true]

38. Same here. A real crushing thing to hear about.

Sometimes it is easy to believe that bad things only happen to the best people. That is not reality, but sometimes it is difficult not to fall into that funk.

[JoeOtterbein]

44. We need his wisdom.

Now, more than ever.

[Blue_true]

77. I totally agree. nt

[oasis]

36. Pres.Carter we're praying for your full recovery.

[spanone]

37. ....

[Botany]

39. He just broke his hip

After a certain age when you break a hip things get very tough.


Jimmy Carter = pure class.

[struggle4progress]

40. Get better, Mr President! You're still needed!

[a kennedy]

41. He just taught his Sunday School Class.......yesterday.

I hope he’s going to be ok.....such a good man, Great Veteran, AND A GREAT PRESIDENT.

[redstateblues]

42. Healing thoughts are sending your way.

You are a true Christian who has lived his beliefs

[Laffy Kat]

46. Just the other day I was saying how much I wish he'd slow down.

Of course, I knew he wouldn't. He cares too much about building houses for the homeless and making the world a better place.

[NurseJackie]

47. We love Jimmy Carter.

[marlakay]

51. I always thought he lives his faith

More than anyone I know.

My first vote love the guy!

[still_one]

52. Not good. Wishing him well

[Roland99]

54. Hang in there, President Carter!!

[smirkymonkey]

55. Thinking of him and his family during this time.

I am wishing them all the best.

[Raine]

56. Sending him the most positive healing loving thoughts

that I can.

[chillfactor]

57. My thoughts and prayers go out

to Jimmy Carter and his family. Please get well......we need good men like you in this devastating time in our country.

[catrose]

60. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't leave us, Jimmy!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

61. Oh no.....we can't lose you now. Hang in there Jimmy!

[dalton99a]

62. Kick

[C Moon]

63. :(

[volstork]

64. Be well,

President Carter. We are pulling for you.

[JGug1]

65. Bleeding on the brain and prayer

It isn't prayer that is needed but a very good brain surgeon and some luck. Jimmy has had a good run. I just wish he could make it to see trump out of office. Maybe he can but this doesn't look good.

[Demsrule86]

66. Prayers for President Carter...hang in there.

[Moostache]

68. If the worst fears are realized, he has lived a life of true service to others...far too rare now.

I am hoping for the best, steeled for the worst and inspired by his example for the future.
Best wishes President Carter, if it is not your time may we all take a moment to remember your service on this Veteran's Day.

[regnaD kciN]

69. I'm realistic enough to realize he won't live forever...

...but I really, really hope he survives through the end of 45’s term.

I can’t bear the thought of the Orange Manbaby taking over the inevitable state funeral and making it All About Me (as usual).

[VarryOn]

70. Jimmy Carter is a good man...

I cant say that about any other living Pres...I'm praying!

[world wide wally]

71. Hang in there, sir

A lot of people love you

[MFGsunny]

72. Inspirational and aspirational defines you, President Carter. Sending love and light back to you.

May your healing be swift and your discomfort light.

[highplainsdem]

73. Adding my prayers. Jimmy Carter is such a great man...

[dewsgirl]

74. ....

[Duppers]

75. He may just come thru this.

Sending love to this great man.

💕 Pres. Jimmy Carter

[Aaron Pereira]

76. Praying here for his speedy recovery.

He gets better with age and we need his presence more than ever.

[FM123]

78. I pray that he recovers quickly and completely.

Sending Love...

[Thekaspervote]

79. Oh president Carter.. we need you...please be well

[crickets]

80. Strength and comfort to you and your family, Jimmy.

[MerryBlooms]

89. Amen.

[Chantel]

81. Our best ex-president

And, an incredible human being. You have been a role model to so many, many people. Thank you.

[Blue Owl]

82. C'mon Jimmy, you'll pull through...

It's not time yet!

[Karadeniz]

83. He has nothing to fear and everything to be happy about. What a life! So genuine, so honest,

So sincere. A perfect role model.

[denvine]

84. We have been awed and inspired by your integrity, compassion and humanity President Carter!

You have set an exemplary example of how people and especially leaders should be. We would love to have you around forever but we know that can't happen and it honestly is for selfish reasons. We love you and we need you as a leader who is highly respected to show us how we should care for our fellow man and what is important. We wish you the best as long as your quality of life is good and you want to be here with us. You are in our hearts and minds and we are pulling for a speedy recovery!

[LAS14]

85. A continuing inspiration. nt

[usaf-vet]

86. President Carter. And family John 3:16

Happy veterans day Sir! You were a fine honorable POTUS and CIC.

Three veteran generations of this family salute you, Sir!

[gademocrat7]

87. K&R

Praying for President Carter. He is a humble, compassionate, man. I love and respect him.

[defacto7]

88. This is one fine human being.

Be well sir.

[jeffreyi]

90. Well, heck.

A decent, good man.

May he be happy
May he be safe
May he be peaceful
May he be free.

And all of us, too.

Whatever is best for President Carter, may it be so.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

91. Carter is my hero

Has been a mentor to me regarding
How to react to the world.

Get better president Carter. There are too few people like you in this world.

[brer cat]

92. Adding my prayers for recovery.

It is well with his soul.

[Beacool]

93. Prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery are going his way.

Rosalynn has been in my thoughts too. This must be very tough on her.

[flotsam]

94. I don't pray

But for Mr. Carter I will.

[denbot]

95. K&R

[nolabear]

96. I met him on his last book tour. I'm proud of that. Sending all I've got.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Hekate]

97. Rest easy, you good and honorable man

[malaise]

98. Sending good vibes

for this truly decent human being

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

99. Just saw that

I had a similar procedure done last year.

He's at Emery University Hospital which is a very good facility. If anyone can pull through it's probably him.

[Scarsdale]

100. Great man.

I wish him a fast recovery. He has the character that a president should have. Helps the poor, unselfishly. Very intelligent man, treated badly by the gop. He really lives his faith, unlike many others in DC. Get well soon, sir.

[polmaven]

101. Prayers are being said.

[warmfeet]

103. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Such a great human being. He makes me proud to be of the same species. What would this country, this world, be like if everyone were to emulate President James Earl Carter Jr. I can only dream.

[democrank]

105. Bless this wonderful human being.

Stay strong, President Carter

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

106. ...

[wnylib]

108. I posted my gratitude and best wishes for

President Carter, Rosalynn, and their family in the other thread, but gladly post it again here. May they all come through this well.

[Rural_Progressive]

109. Hate to rain on parades

but at a certain point in life for those fortunate to live long enough systems start to fail and things go downhill. It appears that President Carter has reached that point.

My most fervent hope for him is that he has the peaceful, dignified passing that he so richly deserves after many years of service to others rather than himself.

[LanternWaste]

110. Sorry to rain on your parade

but Jimmy Carter in recovery now. Latest report says the procedure was completed with no complications.

[Rural_Progressive]

111. Guess I didn't express myself well

I am delighted he has tolerated this procedure without any undo complications.

What I am addressing is the series of events that lead up to the procedure being necessary. My experience is that when the downhill slide starts at that age it is very difficult to stop. President Carter appears to have begun that slide, I have watched much the same sort of thing happen when I was younger and a first responder and now as a senior have seen family, friends, and members of my community go through the same process

When it is time for President Carter to pass, as I said I wish him the gift of a dignified, peaceful passage. Until then President Carter, my older family members and friends all serve as an inspiration to me that I may have another useful and productive 20, 25 years left in my life.

Does that clear things up for you?

[busterbrown]

112. Talk about role model... He's a 10++++
