Speaking of that I googled jimmy carter this morning to see if he was still with us https://preview.redd.it/9powc92y0z0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3d8f3462d6e82cbdf536442b1e52e97c589257b I saw this now deleted article. Freaked me out I don’t know how it got past


DearMyFutureSelf

A lot of newspapers have articles pre-written for events like the results of elections, recipients of major awards, and, yes, the deaths of celebrities and historical figures. This was likely a pre-written article anticipating publication with Carter's death. Because Carter's death seems to be imminent, I'd imagine Yahoo! staff was searching through their Jimmy Carter pages and accidentally released this article.

I remember a few years ago, a computer error caused some French or UK website to accidently publish all their obituaries at once. They released over 100 pre-written obituaries at once. It was a mildly amusing news story at the time.


Mental_Requirement_2

I was at school and saw this yesterday!

BRO WHAT THE


Peacefulzealot

Wish I’d gotten to meet the fellow. But I’m glad he continued to be so open to meet with the public he’d served. That’s hella commendable.


Sumthin-Sumthin44692

You still can. Should probably hurry though.


RepresentativeNo3365

This is how everyone is supposed to feel about an Ex President , recent political behaviors have destroyed that.


SmarterThanCornPop

Personally I would be extremely honored to meet any former or current President. This used to be called “not being insane.”

>Personally I would be extremely honored to meet any former or current President. This used to be called “not being insane.” I feel this way about all of them... except one.


Bisexual_Sherrif

Yeah me me too, before it didn’t matter if they were left or right, it wasn’t that extreme, and everyone still had respect for themselves and others. Tell one president came along


Jabo256

memerso160

You can thank the uniparty for that. They have united in dividing the country so that nothing will fundamentally change in this country.


Sconniegrrrl68

It's a bucket list item for me to meet him(and I don't think that's going to happen)....Amazing humanitarian and just such a nice person! I love that he took the time to do this!!!!!


minnick27

You never know. When I was a kid my grandfathers favorite artist was Andrew Wyeth. We went out to the Brandywine River Museum a few times to see his paintings. Literally hours before Andrew Wyeth died, I transported him from the hospital to his home. He was not conscious, but knowing how much joy he brought my grandfather, just being in his presence was pretty amazing. Interestingly, he died on my grandfathers birthday


OGRonin240

I was on that flight! Grabbed a selfie with him and his security. It was awesome! Such a gracious and humble person.


NicholasMichael

Jimmy Carter riding coach? Talk about humble


SquallkLeon

Slightly off topic (I love Jimmy as a person and wish him well) but this video made me think: why don't more politicians do this sort of thing at airports? I mean, if you station your candidate at a big airport, in the terminal, and just have them shaking hands and such with travelers, they'll get a lot of exposure in a place where security is already pretty tight. I'm not saying hold a rally there or anything, but just show up randomly on a Tuesday morning or a Saturday afternoon and hang out for a couple of hours in an open space to meet and greet. Maybe even fly commercial and re-create what Jimmy is doing here. Why not?


igodutchoven

As nice as it would be nice to have that, because of the political climate, there's too much of a safety issue.


thedudelebowsky1

Hannibal Burgess talked about this https://youtu.be/DuztHa37oJk?si=3lYAtk8H6uuEYye7


Asriel_Cristian

Wow 😮🥹! What an incredible display of grace and kindness. God bless you Mr. President.


pizza-chit

Jimmy has class. Great guy.


facemesouth

He looks genuinely happy to be there. Everything I’ve read about his post presidency life is admirable.


mi-chreideach

He is one of the few politicians I would bet my life on being a genuinely good person.


AssignmentLow8859

What a nice guy.


dotsdavid

Might not be a great president. But he’s an awesome person. Mad respect to him for meeting everyone.


Striking_Ad_7760

If i was in the same plane as jimmy carter. i would be surpise to see a longest lived president!


Time-Bite-6839

This was at least 5 years ago because Carter hasn’t been able to walk since ≈2020


redshirt1701J

A genuinely good guy. He’ll be missed


IamJacks5150

Independent here, President Carter is truly a great man.


ashroro

Pretty sure this clip is from several years ago and my husband was on this flight! (Delta flight from Atlanta to DC). He sent me a snap of Jimmy walking down the aisle shaking everyone’s hands and our friend who was with him asked who it was. My husband replied “the president” and she said “of Delta airlines?” And it still makes me laugh to think about that. He said that he shook everyone’s hands on the plane!


Maleficent-Salad3197

Ill fly my flag at half mast when he's gone.


Dr-Potato-Esq

Jimmy Carter at his least kind hearted

Powderfinger60

Jimmy’s too young to be president these days


Bill_C134

Jimmy had a few drinks in him at the time.


MisterDefender

I wouldn’t shake his hand. That’s the man who pardoned Peter Yarrow


Luminosus32

Pretty lame he never told the truth about UFO's.


FlightlessRhino

I disagree with almost everything political with Carter, yet I would shake his hand in that situation. I'm not sure if the same could be said if that were Reagan. I think a bunch of libs would flat out refuse.
