President Biden praised former President Carter ahead of his 100th birthday on Tuesday, telling him, “Mr. President, I admire you so darn much.”
“Your hopeful vision of our country, your commitment to a better world, and your unwavering belief in the power of human goodness continues to be a guiding light for all of us,” Biden said in a birthday message released to CBS News on Sunday.
Biden praised Carter as “one of the most influential statesmen in our history,” acknowledging Carter’s work both during his term in office and since leaving the White House.
“Even after you left office, the moral clarity you showed throughout your career showed through again in your commitment through the Carter Center and Habitat for Humanity — resolving conflicts, advancing democracy, preventing disease, and so much more. It’s transforming the lives of people not only at home but around the world,” Biden said.
Biden noted his 1976 endorsement of Carter’s presidential campaign — the first nod of support Carter received from an elected official outside of his home state of Georgia.

There’s only one more day in jimmah’s life that I will be celebrating.
OK, nah. He’s an old man and he wasn’t outwardly and actually hateful towards America like obummer, harris biden.
buss i and ii hid their contempt better than those 3.
Carter was just a dem...and their policies for a long time now can not end in good results.
Actually Carter was not the nice person everyone thinks he was. Secret service members have revealed that he treated them very poorly. He had a made-up act for the cameras, he would carry his own luggage as long as the cameras were rolling, but once out of camera range...
Carter could rum in the Dem Primary today. He was Somewhat Economicly Conservative.
Could not run.
(I voted for Ford btw.)
I don’t care how many homes Carter hammered nails into for the cameras. He is singularly responsible for the disastrous Ayatollah takeover of Iran, and the subsequent nightmare for those people. He’s also a despicable anti-semite who started the trend of calling Israel an apartheid.
Oh, so he was a jerk :)
Yeah, but to celebrate a political figure’s passing, I need them to have hated the US.
I dont want people to think I’m sick(er)!! :)
I don’t think he hated the US.
This new crop does.
My inflation is as bad as yours...
