Larry Sabato (@LarrySabato) Tweeted:
In U.S. history only Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams have had productive post-Presidencies to rival that of #JimmyCarter. And no ex-President has ever devoted himself to charity as much as Carter. What a remarkable life at 95 today—with chapters yet to be written.

I loved Obama and he is a very good man, but Carter has dedicated himself to helping the needy around the world and that is a higher calling and standard of behavior. He's a saint, not in the Catholic version, but truly a helping hand for so many given with a pure heart.

It’s been awhile since we had one of those leading our country. About three years or so.

I remember after Carter took office, officially bringing to an end the miserable Nixon era, and he stated “I will never lie to you.” Yep. An American President actually announced that. And meant it. And lived up to it.

People entrenched in what we’ve got now have no conception about this dynamic.

The transition from bush/cheney to the Obama presidency is not quite a parallel, even though The Obama administration was credible, legitimate, and respectable after the criminality of bush/cheney.

But THIS, now, is beyond even bush/cheney.

Happy Birthday, President Jimmy Carter! Our 39th president turns 95 today. Carter earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his creation of the Carter Center to promote human rights worldwide. He is also an avid volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and has survived cancer.
