Despite A Black Eye And 14 Stitches, 95-Year-Old Jimmy Carter Builds Homes For Habitat For Humanity

He’s nearing the end of his life and doesn’t do things like this to profit or get attention. He just does. That’s a true President.

[pennybaker]

All the best President Carter. Look after yourself and be careful

[lynnettebroussard]

This is a real man. Not like the reality tv dump.

[Shichard]

Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, is everything the Religious Right CLAIMS to be. Here's to you, JC, you wonderful man.

[chewyjello]

That right there is what a self actualized human being looks like. He is doing exactly what he was put on the Earth to do. ❤️

[derektata]

This is what a president is supposed to be like

[markschick]

It’s amazing that some would describe President Carter as an ineffectual President. That is a GOOD man right there. His entire life is built on honesty and integrity. A good and decent public servant. We need someone like him in office now.

Despite 14 stiches, being 95 President Carter is going to work today. He's working more hours now than trumpakov.

[eteldias]

That's why he is alive. What a great statesman and human being. We are lucky to have him. Living legend

[toochietoochie]

Mr President Carter I’m glad you are doing ok after falling.

[johnzen]

Thank you for this gentle breeze of Goodness Mr President.
Much love!

[Konanan]

I'm not religious, but it's always good to see a good soul and sprit, especially when contrasted with these present times.

[stephenwedderburn]

Ther is a true American patriot and a gentleman. Much respect to you President Carter!

[etee]

This 95 y. o. is more coherent than that 73 y. o.

[politicaloverload]

Thank you sooo very much Mr. President Carter!
This is an important time in our history to
show real true heart! form a president and a fine gentleman!

[peggie]

What a beautiful man!!! He lives his faith and has touched the lives of millions for the better. What a stark contrast to so many politicians today and certainly in stark contrast to our current president.

[larryhudson]

And that folks is a President! Reverted, loved, honest, gentle, and dud I say respectful. God Bless my President Jimmy Carter!!°° may we be blessed with another of his brand!

[taralyamcdonough]

I still have fond memories when Carter became president. His brother Billy making Billy beer, him selling his peanut farm. It was a much simpler time.

[gbereterbide]

A perfect role model for human decency.

After so many years, my first HfH build still as that's when I had the privilege to work alongside President and Mrs. Carter during my first year in Atlanta. Jimmy Carter's character, integrity and selflessness service to others in faith are examples for us all.
