9. Carter: a man of integrity and honesty and determination

[tavalon]

47. There's more of all of that in that one man

Than in the four others beside him. Man, pictures ARE worth a thousand words.

2. I truly respect that man...

and will argue with the facts against those who try to dis him. I usually end
with; "He is a fine person."

[WinkyDink]

3. IMO, the most principled man there.

[SheilaT]

4. Yep. the best President in the second half of the

twentieth century, without a doubt. And he has behaved honorably and ethically in retirement.

[Egnever]

5. The black guy?

[gimama]

6. that pic says it all, huh?

He's my favorite,too..
"gentle warrior".
thanks for posting this.

[Cleita]

7. It looks like the four drew away from him.

I'm glad he stands out for being the honest person and President he was. The rest of them should just go play golf, forever.

10. The Farmer who Farmed INTEGRITY and HONOR....as a President

Heads and shoulders above the GOPers....

In his lifetime...he had callouses...worked hard...built furniture, houses..and a Humantarian to boot

[HarveyDarkey]

11. The tie colors say something also

Just sayin'

[Bonobo]

12. He was uncorrupted.

Stuck out like a damn sore thumb.

[freshwest]

34. And thus disrespected.

[emilyg]

13. Interesting body language.

14. I was barely born at the time of Carter's Presidency, but I believe

that he was the last decent President America had, despite his love for dictators. America drastically shifted to the perverse right with the Reagan Revolution, which is still in effect to this day. Unfortunately, Obama nor Clinton have steered us safely away from the Reagan Revolution (i.e. downhill path).

[gkhouston]

19. I actually felt worse when Reagan won in '80 than I did in 2000. n/t

[freshwest]

35. You point to Carter as having a love for dictators in that crowd?

[a la izquierda]

37. I don't think he/she was comparing...

but you cannot deny that Carter did zero despite know what was going on in Nicaragua and elsewhere. Still, I respect him too.

[I Drink Water]

48. Carter is a great man, a visionary, and was a very good President who have recieved a bad rap, but

lets not whitewash the past or minimize his foreign policy by comparing and contrasting to Presidents who have had worse foreign policy. Carter deserves many accolades during his time as President and out of office and to much to his credit, he does pursue negotiations over brute military conflict.

The man is great, but not perfect.

17. One sees what one will. Another in the series:

FWIW, Carter is my favorite, too. :hi:

18. Bump

His grandson is starting to following in the ways of granddad.

21. thanks i just hung that up at my office.

I added text to it too "one stands apart"

[seabeyond]

22. isnt it so.... nt

[Ron Green]

23. Isn't that another one as well, over on the chest of drawers?

[pacalo]

24. That picture speaks VOLUMES. Love you, President Carter, for the man you are in this

picture. Always did.

:loveya:

[JuniperLea]

25. Carter is a very spiritual man...

Religious too, but it's his spirit that makes him such a good man. He sure did, and does, a lot of praying and he isn't ashamed of that at all. I don't recall anyone giving him grief about it either.

[slay]

26. The last of his kind

an actual Democrat in the White House. many liberals have long joked that Bill Clinton is the best Republican president we ever had. And Obama - well.. he looked like he might give Bill a run for his money, but not looking good at all right now in this liberal's eyes. But Carter - he wore his emotions and caring for the people of this country on his sleeve. Such caring for the American people has not been seen since. I have much respect for Jimmy Carter indeed. :)

[blondeatlast]

27. GWB looks older than his dad, IMHO. anyone else notice that? nt

[surrealAmerican]

28. I think HW is just using a little more hair dye than his son ...

... he looks very old to me.

[ecstatic]

29. Too bad the same types who are turning on Obama now, turned on Carter

30 years ago.

[Samantha]

44. I don't think that is a coincidence

I have thought many times they have pulled out the same play book they used on Carter to distance the voting public from Obama. And like Carter, the Republicans want to make Obama a one-termer. Seems pretty obvious, but maybe you had to live during those times and observe the moves.

[Jakes Progress]

57. Got names? I never turned on Carter because he never turned on me.

[riderinthestorm]

30. He doesn't even look comfortable with them.

I wonder if he'll ever completely break with this part of his history, finally lay out the corruption in this office. I'd like to read that book by Jimmy Carter. He knows the secrets. He knows the master financial manipulators. Wish he'd expose them.

[kentuck]

31. Contrary to the revisionist history...

the best President in my lifetime. Why?

Because the country was looking for an honest man after Watergate and the Vietnam War. They chose Jimmy Carter.

No, he did not go to war with Iran over the hostages but they all came home. He negotiated right up to the moment he left office and Ronald Reagan entered. None of them were killed. He was not weak. He was strong in his patience and policy of human rights for all. He negotiated the treaty between Egypt and Israel that has held for 30 years thus far.

The inflation was not the result of Carter policies but those before him, primarily the oil embargo of 1973-74. The Repubs were too caught up in Watergate to do anything except stay out of jail.

Revisionist history has changed the true accomplishments of the Carter Administration. Reagan enjoyed many of the rewards of the Carter energy policy, for example. They portrayed him as weak on foreign policy but he did not trade arms for hostages.

32. If Clinton got any closer to W, he could blow in his ear!

[louslobbs]

33. Scuba, thank you for this photo, I copied it, laser printed it and framed it on my office wall

your friend,

[bvar22]

36. Jimmy "stands apart" from that crowd....

...in many ways.

Jimmy was our last "Democratic" President, and even Jimmy was pretty conservative.

Our last Pro-Working Class President was LBJ.

[Doremus]

38. As well he should. Why associate with sellouts?

The only man with integrity who has served as president in the last 40 years. Thank you President Carter.

[Mnemosyne]

39. My first vote as an 18 year old, was for Mr. Carter. He walks the walk. K&R n/t

[struggle4progress]

40. I voted for him twice. I still like and admire the man. He caught a lot of flack for the Iran

breakdown, but the bottom line includes this fact: the hostages finally came home, instead of being murdered

[Lifelong Protester]

41. of the five, the only one whose hand I have shaken

I admire him too.

[Distant Observer]

42. I notice no one has asked him to COMMENT ON LIBYA

[DeSwiss]

43. K&R n/t

[democrank]

46. Jimmy Carter was way too principled for Washington.

[MissDeeds]

51. Yes he was

A man of honor, integrity, and principles. And he is still serving his country - and the world.
President Carter was the most ethical Democrat I ever voted for.

[sasha031]

49. I love Jimmy Carter

pictures tells a thousand words.

[madokie]

50. mine 2

honest man

[tblue37]

52. Most decent president. nt

[cali]

53. great guy. great ex-president, but not so great as President.

[Safetykitten]

58. Agree

[DeeDeeNY]

54. + 1,000

Yes.

[quakerboy]

55. I gotta ask

Pappy... dyed hair?

[Jakes Progress]

56. The four on the on one side look happy with themselves.

If you stand where they are, those four are to their right. Only Carter moved leftward.

I voted for Carter, Clinton, and Obama. I fell my vote was tainted on all but Carter.

I voted against both bushes as often as I could - state and national - but their dreams are the ones coming true.

[JDPriestly]

59. Carter will be ranked with Lincoln and Washington

and Roosevelt -- as a president who lead his people in the right direction.

History will judge those who opposed him harshly. Carter was a prophet. Just wait.

[HughBeaumont]

60. :

Obama: I'd like to .. uh .. offer my sincerest condolences to your penis, seeing as how it spewed out nothing but demon drunks, assholes, addicts and thieves.

Bewsh I: Welllll, can't choose our kids, can we?

Obama: Oh, and thanks for the whole "Trickle Down" thing, and letting these pit viper rich fucks run the country. Doesn't make my job HARDER or anything . . .

Bewsh I: I was OUT OF THE LOOP DAN . . . er . .. where are we?

Obama: God help me, I may be the smartest person here. Oh, and your son just shit himself. Again. I can almost TASTE it. And he smells like scotch and dead Reagans. Again.

Clinton: Pitcher taker's got some nice cans, don't she?

Bewsh II: Y'oughta see the honeys we got after Rangers games.

Clinton: You just ripped one agin, didn't ya?

Bewsh II: It was a good'un. The black guy's mouth was open.

Clinton: Jesus Christ, man.




Carter: And they all wonder why I'm standing over here . . .

[IDemo]

61. My first vote, and still my favorite
