This gentleman was once the most powerful human being on the planet, capable of doing basically anything he wanted, and still remained so humble and nice. Great man.
@@tapiokatajisto9566 - Regrettably pride in America is nearly impossible now. Carter and his ideal was possible because he was in the last gen which believed in it. We (rational, thinkers) all know "The Emperor has no clothes" for this to be possible. 2006 is when I could no longer stand up during the anthem and can no longer be "proud" due to ALL the hypocrisies.
I have always admired Jimmy Carter since I first met him when he came to my high school in 1973 as governor...one of the best memories of my life was staying up all night with my Dad on election night 1976 to see if Carter would win (I didn't even have to go to school the next day...first and only time). A man of integrity and honesty...things that partisans on any side don't seem to like. God bless President and Mrs. Carter.
Admired for what? Were you alive during 15% inflation and 15% interest rates ? All caused by bad decisions by him. He only carried Georgia. Worst defeat in an election. Talk to his staff . Both he and wife were literally hated by the staff.
@@patrickwelch3274 that was not caused by his policies at all however the 3 trillion dollar debt we had at the end of the 80s was caused by reagan along with the savings and loan crisis which collapsed because reagan deregulated it along with tens of thousands of aids deaths while reagan did nothing and iran contra but people loved him
@@patrickwelch3274 He said he was in high school in 1973, so yes he was alive to see the 15% inflation and interest rates. He also carried Minnesota, DC, and a few other states in 1980 - not the worst defeat in an election. He was hated by his staff? I will agree though, Carter was not a great president - but to little fault of his own. He was governing during a time of extreme crisis that he didn't cause, but he just couldn't fix it.
Reagan exploited Jimmy’s humanity. Had we known Reagan was not what he claimed, I think most Americans would have voted Carter in 1980. Even with his Cabinet member getting in trouble, Jimmy ran one of the cleaner Administrations and was one of our few Presidents who did not get troops killed overseas in foolish oil wars or resource based wars.
@@timmyp34 By 1984, he was likely 40th out of 40 for most people - not to his fault though. He was a good man, but in office at the wrong place and wrong time. Had he taken office in 1992, he'd do better.
As a Carter Center volunteer during my graduate schools days in the early 1990s, I made two trips to Plains. In those days, people didn't have to sleep in their cars or need tickets for their seats. I happened to sit directly behind Mrs. Carter for the service. Afterwards, President Carter joined about 15 of us for his Sunday School sermon in one of the church's classrooms. He stood the whole time, just several feet from me, and, as he does in this video, talked about Paul! Then The Carters posed for photos outside, with the Secret Service in the distant background, smiling for the cameras. That day was one of many fantastic experiences I was privileged to enjoy with The Carters and The Carter Center.
He would tell you..You can go to the Lord where your standing and ask him into your heart..Jimmy Carter is not Jesus Christ. He gives a message and he is only the messenger. There is one greater than all and that is JC....Jesus Christ.
@@TheTim59 - Mr Carter has been my favorite President since the 1970's. He wasn't a cool Pres. like Clinton or Obama, but he is more principled and just a quiet, simple good man.
Great man and humanitarian that we should all strive to follow. So humble and unassuming but a force for good. My mom who was a Georgia native loved President Carter and was proud to be in the group of those from Georgia. I always believed that his presidency was one that should have set the tone of how a president conducts himself. Yes, he was beset by problems beyond his control, just kept getting hit from all sides, but he never lost his cool, remained dignified and humble. His honesty and integrity was the best of traits, but, our society couldn't handle it nor were we ready for one such as him. Humbleness at it's best.
Very good story. God bless you Jimmy in our final days. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." You are a true representation of Christ here on earth.
Happy 99th Birthday to a true human being, a global example of service and compassion, Perhaps your longevity is God's blessing upon you and a sign to us of what a good, humble life in the service of humanity looks like!
In 2008 I took a flight from NY to Atlanta and a rental car from Atlanta to Plains. Stayed at the Plains Historic Inn. Went to Maranatha the next day, Palm Sunday, where President Carter taught the Sunday School class after the service. Just like in this video, he and Mrs. Carter offered to take pictures with anyone who wanted one. I stood between them and he put his arm around my shoulder like an old friend. Amazing. I went to the Sunday evening service too, as there was not much to do in Plains at that time of that day. Well into the service, I noticed that the Carters were sitting I the pew directly in front of me. Just regular fellow Christians, seeking God and not the limelight. May God bless their family in their time of grief. 💕
It's a wonderful thing to know that a leader had such strong faith in God. Our country and such many others are struggling to survive financially and physically. I know we r so multireligiously cultural but our present leaders all through this pandemic. Have not spoken much about god. Please hear me out know your god and keep your faith always!!!!
Glad to have gone to hear President Carter today. My opinion is that it is a very worthwhile thing to do since he might not be doing this for too much longer. The church (Maranatha Baptist) does an excellent job of facilitating this each Sunday that he's available. The Carters are gracious enough with their time to sit for pictures with each guest. Fortunate that I live so close but there were people from multiple states and countries in attendance. Go early!
My wife attended Carter's Sunday School. Made a major impression. Her favorite poet is Dylan Thomas. Carter was critical in getting Thomas into Poets' Corner at Westminster.
I had the privilege of meeting Jimmy and Ms. Carter outside of their church when I was in my late 20s. I got a picture by him, I got a picture by her and then I got a picture of them by theirselves. Wonderful Christian folks!!
My bf and I went to see President Carter teach Sunday School this past Sunday. The experience is one I will never forget. We even got a photo with him and Mrs. Carter. Go if you get the chance.
I want to join his Sunday School classes. He is a great man in humility. Jesus must be happy to have him in heaven. Love and prayers from Nagaland, India.
I was at Carter's Congregation a week ago, the day before President's Day, 2019. Even though Reagan is my favorite, I stilll think he is great, kind, and humble.
President Carter reminds me of my grandfather. Deeply devouted Catholic but respectf of different religions, and every Sunday we'd go to his house and have history lessons, mostly war history then have a good game of monopoly before we would have dinner, then watch some evening news before leaving. Ever since I was a kid, we'd always go to my grandfather's house to listen to so many stories about history, you name it. Ancient History, Medieval History, Modern History. Especially war, politics and more recently, Monty Python of all things. 🤣🤣🤣 He died 5 years ago, and I asked him who his favorite US President was. He said he had three, and one of them was Jimmy Carter. Rest in Peace Mr. President, as a Canadian I thank you for your humble but very impacting Naval service in saving the town of Chalk River in 1952.
I came and slept in the car to be able to see Carter. The church has done such a wonderful job. Just fyi. Mr and a person’s first name is how you show respect to elders but also a bit of familiarity. A female would be Miss and first name
Jimmy Carter politically was a weak president. His term was an era of weakness for America. Now Jimmy Carter as a person is the strongest example of a great American.

This gentleman was once the most powerful human being on the planet, capable of doing basically anything he wanted, and still remained so humble and nice. Great man.
He held a powerful office, but he was a feeble man in the saddle, unable to run it.
I think Brezhnev was equal if not more powerful during Carter’s presidency
Leave politics alone not for Christians
Selling oneself for a vote!
@@broadstreet21 The evil corporatist war mongers that took over after him have been far worse.
@@broadstreet21he was too nice that if there was war he would not do well
You’d never think he was the president, amazing
Jimmy Carter is one of the only politicians who makes feel uplifted and proud to be American.
Make America Proud Again!
I'm glad. More people say that about his successor, but glad Carter has positive influence on some.
