He is such a bright wonderful human and they just trash him so. I don't think left wing media is ever this horrid. Why do they do it? This man is practically a saint!

I love people with an humanitarian streak. They deserve the love and concern they show others.

That they actually DO follow what they tell everyone what they believe to be true. The are the opposite of people like Beck and Robertson and America needs more of them, not less! At least enough of them to fight from the inside, the horrible pox that is Fundamentalism.

I'm not religious, (i'm a recovering Catholic), but I wanted my son, Carter, to meet the man who inspired us to give him his name. The President did not disappoint. He was smart, compassionate and funny, all the things I want my son to be. He's 11, we'll see.

He was joking and light hearted. You wouldn't think he was at a crucial point in his life.

He is one remarkable ninety year old human being.

Jimmy Carter, walk the walk - and talk the talk - even after been told he have a dangerous cancer type - who he might not be able to survive... But still he act as he always have been doing - 90 years and counting.. What a impressive man he have been for years...

And of course - the right who have no class at all - is attacking this amazing man - who always have been decent and kind to everyone - and who always have made the case for making the world a little better - even against the odds...

Disgusting they are - and they should if anything be ashamed of themself... But I do not belive they have the ability to do so..
