Jimmy Carter's grandson has revealed the 99-year-old former president is 'coming to the end'.
The Georgia peanut farmer and oldest living president has been in hospice care for more than a year after deciding to forego any further medical treatment.
Since then his beloved wife Rosalynn has passed away and he has been living at home with regular visits from his family. Jason Carter said at a mental health forum on Tuesday: '(My grandfather) is doing OK.
'He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end that, as I’ve said before, there’s a part

What's the over-and-under on the number of "bad President but good man" posts that we're going to see?

At least Jimmy can pass on knowing that he wasn’t the absolute WORST POTUS in history . . .

Sorry, Disclaimer
Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.), thirty-ninth president of the United States, was born Oct. 1, 1924
I have a $20 in the "pool" that says he goes to 100.

I hope his wife is there to greet him when he crosses over.

Carter’s funeral and the Democrat convention will be the only 2 times we will see Biden before the election. The craven old man is hoping this will save his candidacy.

Carter is the 3rd worst president in US history. The worst 2 came from Pennsylvania and both had the initials “JB”.

His wife died in November. I'm surprised he has hung on this long.

It sounds like Jimmah may leave this world before the end of the month.

I must respectfully disagree with #6.
Agreed that ol' "Jimmah" is #3 on the worst presidents list. I remember his term. He was an embarrassment to the US. His ineptness enabled the radical Ruhollah Khomeini to gain power in Iran, followed ten years later by Ali Khamenei.
"Jimmah" also shut down the US facility to recycle uranium fuel for America's atomic power plants, which I think was a really dumb move. (90% of the uranium is unreacted, and can be recovered and re-used, once it is separated from the plutonium that 'poisons' the atomic reaction when in service.)
But that was a long time ago, I don't wish him any ill will in his last years.
Now, regarding #1 and #2 on the list, they are much more recent.
Zero was by far the worst pResident to prop his heels up on the Resolute Desk.
Until, that is, the HairSniffer came along.
The only question in my mind is, is Zero still in charge via the Sniffer's handlers, and the HairSniffer is only a puppet, or does the HairSniffer actually make any of the disastrous decisions that have come out of that office in the last 3 years?
If Zero is the one making the decisions, then he is #1 and the Snifffer gets 'demoted' to #2nd worst. But if the Sniffer actually participates in the decision making, then the Sniffer is #1 and Zero gets demoted to #2.

as long as I'm alive, jimmy carter will be remembered, by me, as the worst president, until diapers came along and made it a tie, as to which one is the worst president in our country's history
and nothing can, or will, ever soften my feelings toward both of these two numbnuts

Not an admirer of Jimmay as POTUS. But, he served his country in the US Navy and was faithful to his wife. I can still remember pictures of people in really long lines to get gas for their car. His worst mistake ever was his role in the overthrow of The Shah of Iran.

`Candidate Governor Carter lived under the notion that those in his party would agree with his leadership on ideas of "Zero-based budgeting" and good faith efforts to reform and restore government to be more efficient serving the citizenry.
What he found when elected was much different-- Many who voted for him (and against incumbent President Gerald Ford) were still mad at Ford for offering a Presidential Pardon to President Nixon saying 'our long nightmare is over"! Ford was UNELECTED by the people having been appointed by Nixon and confirmed by the Senate to replace Vice-President Spiro Agnew, and many voted FOR Carter to vote against Ford.
President Carter found an ENTRENCHED set of politicians who DID NOT want or allow anyone to mess with their apple cart, and it is even worse today. The quest for money and power and media manipulation to AVOID depth of any discussion of the issues in favor aor a quasi-religion on pop culture and avoiding real reporting on corruption of the NoBama/Vegetable/Soros group makes people with the best of intentions to make things better by getting govenment off the citizen's backs nearly impossible today.
when BJ Clinton was elected with a plurality most of his government appointees had already been picked by Hitlery, and he was driven by her and her allies until Newt and company dragged him kicking and screaming to welfare reform. There is NO welfare restrictions now-- Everyone gets it to paraphrase The Oprah...

One of the bigger embarrassments to us he did was to hire and idiot as a Polish Translator. He was giving a speech wherein he tried to say he loved Poland, and the translator said he was in lust with Poland.
I loved the political cartoon that had an audience of Polish guys laughing and rolling on the floor. Carter says "whats so funny" and the translator says "whats so toilet plunger?"

Let's remember that up until Obozo came along, race relations in this country were mending, and by picking Biteme as VP, he set the stage for Biteme to be in a position to become president. As for who's controlling the White House and making decisions, it's Obozo. His team is in the White House and has been controlling things from day one. Obozo's plan was to change the U.S. No one in the media asked Obozo, change the U.S. into what? Now we know.

A year and a half is a long time to be on hospice. Some people have to be pried from the planet with their teeth marks still on it. I realize that is an ungenerous statement, but I have never cared for the man, and can’t seem to muster up any decent farewell.

I knew something was wrong when a "nuclear engineer" in the USN couldn't pronounce "nuclear" correctly.
It was steeply downhill from there.
