One America Appeal
No matter what your politics, it was pretty cool just now seeing all five living former presidents in an ad during the Fox NFL game.

I mostly just noticed how much most of them have aged

Re: One America Appeal
W and Obama both looked good, and young to be honest.
There is a BIG jump from them to the other three however. Carter and HW have the "no spring chicken" argument to excuse them. Clinton just looks plain bad.

Kidding aside, I wonder if any of his health problems are resurfacing. His voice was raspier than I remember.PeteRasche wrote:It's stressful to run for President 3.5 times!WaveProf wrote:Clinton just looks plain bad.
Jimmy seems to be the Energizer Bunny despite beating the recent health problems.
HW looks like it'll be any day now.

Re: One America Appeal
Heard Clinton speak in NY earlier this year. He had little charisma and was very raspy. Despite losing all the weight and the healthy diet, he doesn't seem to be doing so hot.

Bubba should go back to eating Big Macs. Carter kicked this sh it out of brain cancer. He may never die. HW doesn't look good, but I don't think Barbara will let him die.

I was never a Carter fan as president, but he's a solid individual... I hope others can use his cancer survival as inspiration and they can utilize the combination of treatment they used on him to save even more

I think he's hands down the best EX-president we've ever had. Just an outstanding human being in every way.Johnny Mac wrote:"recent health problems???" the dude BEAT cancer at the age of 90!!!!TUPF wrote:Jimmy seems to be the Energizer Bunny despite beating the recent health problems.

Re: One America Appeal
Who DOESN'T think that? My friends on both sides of the political aisle always seem to agree on that. His presidency may be divisive, but I think he's reached a point where "he" isn't.GretnaGrn wrote: I think he's hands down the best EX-president we've ever had.

Re: One America Appeal
if you weren't trying to make a living, save some money for the future or try and raise a family during that time its hard to make anyone comprehend how terrible a President Carter was. Not terrible as in a crook, or evil or wanting to purposely do harm, but terrible as in incompetent. I also don't think he is our best ex-President. Not by a long shot.
and that will be my only even remotely political opinion.

Re: One America Appeal
I think Carter is easily the best ex-President we've ever had. He had good intentions, but was way in over his head as President, and tried to micro-manage everything, which also made him suck more.
