Former president Jimmy Carter, the longest living president, has accomplished a lot in his 96 years, but his longest-running accomplishment is his marriage to former first lady Rosalynn Carter. The couple will celebrate their 75th anniversary on July 7 – marking nearly eight decades of philanthropy, travel, family and love.

The Carters started dating in 1945 when Mr. Carter, then in the U.S. Naval Academy, needed a date when he was home. His younger sister set him up with a family friend, Eleanor Rosalynn Smith – and Mr. Carter already had a crush on her, the Associated Press reports.

Reagan was such a bad ass! The minute he was inaugurated the hostages were freed. Carter just looked like a pathetic, pussy piss ant.

He may have been a failed president, but Carter is one of the last survivors of a generation where Christian faith was central, military service standard, and divorce unheard of.

Even a raging Liberal looks like a Conservative today just from the change in lifestyle over the generations.

Just wish they were a private couple we never had to hear about.
