100 years old.
Expect to read lots about his notorious 1970s Playboy interview in the coming days
Insofar as it’s possible to see onto the hearts of strangers, he seems to have been a top bloke.
And he remains the only president to have his image on a billboard with the words “the unstoppable sex machine” underneath..
CIC?
RIP, the world has one less good person in it
CIC = Commander-in-Chief, I’m guessing.
I was too young to remember him as President, but his post-White House life seems to have been spent helping others, particularly by providing houses. That looks like a very satisfying way to live, and probably more rewarding than making speeches or whatever it is that most ex-Presidents actually do.
RIP.
Carter doing his best to give the politician’s answer about the importance of rock music when asked by Whispering Bob.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

A very inspiring life!

Made some mistakes, but had a strong moral core that is incompatible with overgrown baby about to enter the White House.
Spot on – a serious and considered man with a conscience and a purpose.
America can reflect upon his humanity and ask itself some serious questions when thinking about how it has behaved in recent times, and where it is allowing itself to be steered even now.
I don’t think America is in the mood to ask itself serious questions right now.
he was a peanut farmer … just in case no one has mentioned it.
as someone born in ’67 he was the first POTUS i really was aware of, I had heard of Ford and Nixon but didn’t really know about them and I really became aware of Carter during the Iran hostages situation
