I know it has been said before it can't be said enough.

He has more wisdom that anyone in the Georgia State legislator, not to mention more soundness of mind.

we are so lucky to have him around.

like the GOP is doing now about voting, I remember to be proud of Jimmy Carter.

Not sure there is a better human being who has ever held the office of President. Joe may come close.

I figured that any endeavour worth that much time from an elderly man that had formerly been the leader of the free world, and an obviously excellent human being, was clearly something I should support.

The juxtaposition of the simple, earnest Carters against a movie star and his designer-clad wife was jarring.
