Nice pic.

"The mayor visited Maranatha Baptist Church for services and a Sunday school session led by President Carter before lunch at the Carter residence."

1. That is a great picture. I love Carter and I dig Mayor Pete, too.

Buttigieg is from my neck of the woods- the same state anyway.

2. Epitome of humanity, right there. nt

3. that

makes me happy!

4. I was there today.

It was such a joy to see them both.

[No Vested Interest]

5. Wow! Perfect timing for you!

Was that coincidental or did you know in advance ?

[gademocrat7]

8. It was a surprise.

What a morning.

6. Be still my heart ...

Sorry if it sounds weird, but Jimmy has always been my fav and I have a mega-political crush on Pete. Seriously!

7. I don't know which one is more handsome.

9. Images like this give me hope.

We so need reminders that there are really good people in this world. And two of them are in that photo.

10. This makes me smile

Two smart, hard-working, liberal-minded men are sitting down and having a nice friendly conversation.
Isn't that how things used to be? Can it ever be that way again?

Caption This.

12. This warms my heart. (n/t)

13. Birds of a feather . . .

It's reassuring to see good people interacting. This is one of those unique and touching moments. I'm happy to see it captured for posterity.

14. There appears more integrity than the entire lot of Republicans possess

All I got to say about that.

[Hekate]

15. In an overcrowded primary field, I'm very glad to have Biden and Buttegieg...

Neither may make it all the way. Both bring something wonderful to the national conversation.

That photo is going to have an honored place in the Buttegieg family home and album and mayoral office.

16. I had the great privilege of

watching Jimmy and Rosalynn play with children and their families including my two year old great granddaughter at the Fernbank Museum in Atlanta after Christmas. Just think how different these two last years would have been for our nation if we had elected someone like Jimmy Carter.

17. Is Mayor Pete lefthanded?

His watch is on his right. Sometimes, it's an indicator.

Lot's of lefthanders in my family.

[EarnestPutz]

19. Yes he is, just like Presidents Obama, Clinton and Truman.

Ronald Reagan was a left handed Democrat until he lost his way.

[Ilsa]

23. I know about PBO and PBC, but not Truman. nt

[EarnestPutz]

18. Progressive, intelligent Democratic bookends. We really lost our way with Ronald Reagan....

.....and President Pete Buttigieg would be another solid step in the process of redemption for this country. Ages 94 and 37, don't you just love it. And President Carter can wear a turquoise bolo tie and rock it.

[BigOleDummy]

20. I worked briefly for Mr. Carters campaign ....

…. only worked a phone bank in Denver but has there ever been a more decent human being than this man? Mr. Obama is pretty damn close but Mr. Carter shines a beacon to us all to be better people. Hmmmmmm ……. as does Mr. Obama. DAMN! I miss those two guys

[lunatica]

21. Their smiles are genuine

as is the obvious pleasure and respect in their gaze. It’s a good photograph. A keeper.

[Collimator]

22. One of the reasons that I admire Carter. . .

Is that he soldiered through after a devastating, public loss. After which, he focused his energies into doing good for the whole world. Many people in a similar situation would have folded in upon themselves, or spent decades licking their wounds.

Carter is someone to keep in mind anytime you don't get something that you want or are apprehensive about the future and wondering if there are still worthwhile things ahead of you.

Think about how many thousands--possibly millions--of lives have been touched and improved because of Jimmy Carter's post-presidency service.
