President Biden comments on the passing of his friend Jimmy Carter. ---
Former President Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, whose post-presidential work as a humanitarian set a modern standard for the kind of legacy presidents can craft after their time in the White House, has died at 100 years old.

Turning 100 on Oct. 1, 2024, President Carter reached a milestone as the longest-living U.S. president that no other person to hold the title has reached. He is the only president from Georgia.

DECENCY ❤ HONEST, HUMBLE, LOVE FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. FAITHFUL, DEPENDABLE, LOVING AND KIND.
A GENTLEMAN WHO WILL BE MISSED! 💙

What I admired about President James Earl Carter Jr. is that the faith he professed to he not only practiced it, lived it-he was the embodiment of it. He was not a person who professed to be a Christian, he was the manifestation of what he embraced in the Bible. He was also a Good Man.

“What Jimmy Carter is an example of is just simple decency.” - Joe Biden

Well said! Decency is not simple, but those who live it make it look much simpler than it is. An example for all who can follow.

No matter how you feel about him as a president, no one can deny that he was a damn fine human being.

R.I.P. President Carter. You should be the man all politicians are held to your Standards, Ethics, and all that make a man truly great. 🙏

Jimmy Carter is one of the presidents who is noted for his high morals, distinguished behavior, and great achievements. May God have mercy on President Jimmy Carter.

Have to give it to Biden, this was an articulate eulogy. Most of the critical commenters probably couldn’t speak on someone they cared for as well as he did here.

A decent president, a great human being, Jimmy Carter was among many beloved heroes. I believe he was one of the Tzadikim Nistarim, one of the 36 righteous people in our midst.
"The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices"
May the life of President Carter be a blessing.

The Carters made the difference in the quality of my life. I'm so greatful they walked this earth. They're entire life was a outward example of being your brother's keeper. Him and his wife can rest in peace forever more.

Respect used to be given for all people who choose to serve our country soldier to President. J Carter promoted love for everyone. All the way until the end. A mark of a good Leader and example. His Legacy live on!

He wasn't the best president, but he was the best ex-president ever. He never stopped trying to make the world better. He will be missed.

[Waynedayne]

A quiet peaceful president., he was the longest-lived U.S. president and the only one to reach 100 years of age. Respectful decent human being. Presidential skills that can’t be taught.

I was convinced that Carter was never going to die

[gemilyt]

Carter was my father's favorite President. I'm beginning to understand why.
