President Carter and his wife are rich in good works, which is invaluable for an eternity!

This just proves how much of a con DonOLD is. Bibles, gold shoes, fake picture cards, and whatever grift he and his cronies could come up with. No conman deserves respect.

I'm curious about Pres Bush's inheritance from Pop Bush and the presidents pension income.

It was so fun listening to Fox’s several years of attacks on Clinton’s memoirs, claiming he’d never finish, and that it was ghost written. Fox heads weren’t bothered by that contradiction. Of course he was late, Clinton was late to every event he attended. The publisher certainly knew he would be late when they signed contract and issued bonus. When he finished and presented his hand written in pen, sixteen wirebound notebooks they somehow failed to apologize. The problem with being former president is editor is too hesitant to edit. It really could have used editing. There are stretches that are too long, for no apparent reason. Sold lots of copies, publisher made their money back.

For some extra perspective on this topic, I highly recommend the book "Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip". A great read.

Its a great topic, good research and source…the whole presentation though…

If this doesn’t show that he is only in it for the grift!

I don't see the greatest former President, where is He? " Bill Clinton"👋😍

[alwagner]

He gave his salary away. Always negative commend on former President. Proof your statement.
