*Happy 94th Birthday Jimmy Carter!*

(Daily Kos post)

~ Happy Birthday Jimmy Carter!

I had the pleasure of seeing Jimmy & Rosalynn at the Plains Peanut Festival last weekend. This man is great and good.
HE LOOKED FANTASTIC! Animated with the full smile of someone who continues to live a worthy and happy life.
Jimmy Carter honors his faith and our planet. 94 years young! 94 years of wisdom.

Heaven can wait! Congratulations Jimmy Carter. We need your leadership more than ever. I look forward to celebrating his 100th birthday in Plains, GA. In the meantime please visit Plains! President Carter loves visitors!

I met Clinton, briefly and he made such an Impact...

To Meet Carter NOW, not realizing as a child what he was, who he came to BE


He is a Statesman, a Leader, a Beacon for so many...he STILL puts nails in walls to make people safe and happy...

That's more than a Statesman, he's a Humanitarian, in the Best way

Trump changed all that. President Carter and asshole Trump are polar opposites.

mid 90's I stood in line for a couple of hours holding my then baby daughter. When I finally reached President Carter, he reached out, touched the baby's arm, said "Hello, darlin," and looking at me said, "She's beautiful." He was so warm and genuine. So glad he is doing well at 94. A wise and compassionate man.

and attend Jimmy's Sunday School lesson and have photo taken with them afterwards.
Jimmy and Rosalynn are so gracious.

I've also attended at least 2 book signings for Jimmy's books.

May they have many more happy, healthy years.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy Carter!!
