Good Morning President Jimmy Carter

[malaise]

Was thinking about you - have a good day

[daleanime]

1. Amen.....

[mopinko]

2. all the best sir.

you deserve nothing but.

[raven mad]

3. James Earl Carter is a wondrous human.

I thank you for the reminder.

[kelliekat44]

4. Thanks, Malaise. I think about him a lot and have viewing YouTub docu on his Presidency and some of

the written commentary during and after his term in Office. Had we listened to his push (and even that of John Anderson the other candidate against Reagan) for environmental and climate change, think where we might be right now with none of the wars or conflicts since his term. We are masters of our own undoing.

14. We are masters of our own undoing.

If by WE you mean Ronald Reagan and the Republicans.

5. Thanks, malaise.

I've been thinking about JC often these days, and, just because of who he is, I know he's feeling the love..

[Overseas]

6. K&R.

[PatrickforO]

7. Yes, all our best wishes are with you.

8. This is freaky!

I woke up thinking about him this morning too! I thought it was odd, actually.

I was thinking about his announcement about his cancer and how calm, kind and gentle he is. I also remember thinking about a special they did a few years back that showed the Carters at home. They like to eat dinner on trays in front of the T.V. together each night when they're home.

Just a couple of random thoughts about him as I was waking up.
What a coincidence!

[malaise]

21. Nice that we both thought of a great man

[Borchkins]

9. Good morning

I have a picture of President Carter with my son, Carter as my screen saver on my home computer. I say hello to him every day. (The cat thinks I'm weird!)

12. He has done a lot of good in the world. n/t

[Tanuki]

16. Indeed he has, and will continue to do so into the future through the Carter Center:

http://www.cartercenter.org/index.html

The Carter Center was founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, in partnership with Emory University, to advance peace and health worldwide. A nongovernmental organization, the Center has helped to improve life for people in more than 80 countries by resolving conflicts; advancing democracy, human rights, and economic opportunity; preventing diseases; improving mental health care; and teaching farmers to increase crop production.



Highlights

Leading a coalition that has reduced incidence of Guinea worm disease from an estimated 3.5 million cases in 1986 to 126 today, making it likely to be the first human disease since smallpox to be eradicated
Observing 100 elections in 38 countries to help establish and strengthen democracies
Furthering avenues to peace in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Liberia, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, the Korean Peninsula, Haiti, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Middle East
Helping to establish a village-based health care delivery system in thousands of communities in Africa that now have trained health care personnel and volunteers to distribute drugs and provide health education
Strengthening international standards for human rights and the voices of individuals defending those rights in their communities worldwide
Pioneering new public health approaches to preventing or controlling devastating neglected diseases in Africa and Latin America
Advancing efforts to improve mental health care and diminish the stigma against people with mental illnesses.

[niyad]

22. k and r. any word on how he is doing? the latest I can find is dated 13 august.

[malaise]

23. This - look at who's covering him these days

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/09/14/crowds-flock-to-former-president-carters-sunday-school-classes/

[niyad]

36. wow--boggles the mind that faux snooze would cover this. do they have some nasty, snarky

take on it? or are they, for once, covering something in an intelligent manner?

[malaise]

40. Wish I knew the answer but I suspect it is nothing more than

opportunism - they know that President Carter is loved by millions at home and abroad.

[lark]

24. Thank you for doing this Malaise.

Carter is such a good man, has lived an exemplary life and is a true example of what christians should be. He's one of the few politicians that actually cared about all the people in this country and tried his best to move us in the right direction. Best man to be president in this country - probably ever!!!

[juajen]

25. Indeed, have a wonderful day, Mr. President!

[polichick]

26. :)

[Dont call me Shirley]

[Angry Dragon]

[craigmatic]

29. I love President Carter. Anyone know how likely is it that he beats this illness?

[malaise]

31. Right now I want him to get to October 1st so we can celebrate his 91st

birthday - he says he's ready for any outcome.

[hifiguy]

30. If anyone deserves a K&R,

it's Jimmy Carter.

[spanone]

32. Greetings, Sir.

[locks]

33. In these dark days

a few greats like Jimmy Carter send the light of hope that we all have not lost our way.

[rbrnmw]

34. K&R

[brer cat]

35. That is probably all that he is asking for, malaise.

To enjoy one more good day. He is realistic about what he is facing.

K&R for a truly exceptional man.

[maddiemom]

37. Just tacking onto all these great tributes:

I'm so glad Pres. Jimmy has lived long enough to see his presidency vindicated (by the rational among us) and the real appreciation of the fine man he remained and the good he's done since out of office. There has never been a more worthy man to serve as president...and one who has represented the true Christian values the tea party types rave on about. Ironically, as an Annapolis grad and a nuclear (I believe) engineer he has more training in the military than any of the warmongers demanding attention today since Eisenhower (and, yes you, Sen McCain). Pres. Carter continues to suffer insults from clueless Republicans. I'm seventy this year, politically active locally ( as opposed to only local) politics; hope to hang on long enough to see some real sense rule and the Repugs forever devastated over their insane behavior these days.

[TNNurse]

38. I saw a Facebook picture taken Sunday

with the Carters after church ( with someone I know). They are sitting but look pretty much the same.

For those of you on Facebook ( I understand the issues) there is a page you can join "Honoring Jimmy Carter".

It is pretty cool.

[malaise]

39. Thanks

Not an FB person but others will enjoy
