Jingthing Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 President Jimmy Carter of Georgia is now in home hospice care. He's now more well known for his wonderful humanitarian works post-presidency than his one consequential term. Because of that I think he's the most beloved of the (still) living presidents. But I do remember the gas lines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nglodnig Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 98 - not bad. I read somewhere the US Embassy hostages were not released until AFTER the election so as to put him a bad light. Released in 2017, a declassified memo produced by the CIA in 1980 concluded "Iranian hardliners – especially Ayatollah Khomeini" were "determined to exploit the hostage issue to bring about President Carter's defeat in the November elections." Additionally, Tehran in 1980 wanted "the world to believe that Imam Khomeini caused President Carter's downfall and disgrace." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrymahoney Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 My favorite line about President Carter was, after serving one term as Georgia governor, he went into his mother's room one morning and said: Mother, I've decided to run for President. Miss Lillian replied: That's nice, Jimmy. President of what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrymahoney Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) There have been no details made of the medical condition that prompted this hospice decision. It seems that the doctors said Mr. Carter would have to be re-admitted to the hospital, and the former President said: No way Edited February 19, 2023 by jerrymahoney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted February 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 He is a very good man. And I have long thought he was way, way too noble for the office of president. Perhaps that was his downfall. Not tough enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else do you need? From NY Times Feb. 18, 2023 (paywall): The (Carter) center did not elaborate on what conditions had prompted the recent hospital visits or his decision to enter hospice care.
