ATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter will not attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. It marks the first time the couple, 96 and 93, will have missed the ceremonies since Carter was sworn in as the 39th president in 1977.
A spokeswoman at The Carter Center in Atlanta said the Carters have sent Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris their “best wishes” and “look forward to a successful administration.”
Biden was a young Delaware senator and Carter ally during the Georgian’s term in the White House.

James E Carter’s Naval career was a little different than a swift boat commander or an aviator who crashed three aircraft and only kept his wings because his daddy was an admiral.
They do not let dummies become first officers on NUCLEAR SUBMARINES.
“When the mission to rescue our hostages in Tehran failed, he took full responsibility for its failure.”
What else could he do? It was a fiasco from the day it was first concocted, Have you ever read about the logistics of that raid? They were going to take the hostages out BY BUS!!!! It was an insane plan from the very start. It was overly dependent on chance and circumstance, and any military tactician worth his salt will say that is a no-no.
“They do not let dummies become first officers on NUCLEAR SUBMARINES.”
Oh, for God’s sake. Being a submarine officer doesn’t automatically qualify one for the presidency. It is not a sine qua non.
Carter is 97 years old, and has had serious medical issues. No snub, just health concerns.
