Jimmy Carter, Longest Living U.S. President - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Caroline13 · 02-18-2023, 06:47 PM

Spending his final days in hospice with family and friends. When I was a D party person I liked Jimmy, he was a good humanitarian, and many thought he was weak. I didn't see that or didn't want to. He's 98.

This is an FYI on this longest living US President.

Regardless of your politics, it was sad to hear this on the radio.

President Carter, here's hoping your final days are well-spent with family and pain free.

Jimmy is a good guy

Gee, wasn't Carter a politician? Following the logic that my "hot vs not" thread belongs in the general sitcoms subform since some of the actresses star in sitcoms, I'm wondering why this thread has't been moved to the politics sub?

I probably would if it was still open.

Since it's closed, there's nothing wrong with having it here, as it doesn't necessarily violate the politics ban. I'm confident everyone here can keep the discussion apolitical.

Sending Mr. Carter well wishes, hoping his last days are happy and pleasant

Prayers for Jimmy Carter! One of the best and nicest presidents ever !

Babalu · 02-19-2023, 07:59 PM

He may have been the nicest. I don't know.

The best?

Maybe if you turned the list upside down.

I know that he’s the longest living US president but wouldn’t it be great if he lived to see 100?

The Hot vs. Not thread is still open, in General Sitcoms. At this point, I don't remember where it was in the first place, and I even posted in it.

TJ didn't move it, he posted. It's a mystery!

I was referring to the Politics boards being closed. I posted in that thread I'm the one who moved it, as it was originally on Chit Chat. I hope Jim isn't too mad with me.

I don't believe Jimmy will make it to 100, hospice is the final home for those very close to their end. People are kept as comfortable there until it's over. 100 would be Nice for the history books along with Peanut Farmer turns President.

Hospice care is provided when an individual is in the last 30 days of life (of course they can live longer but that would be the prognosis).

Carter is by far the longest surviving President after leaving office. He passed the previous record holder more than 10 years ago. The Presidents who hold the top 5 positions on the list all have one thing in common, they held office for one term or less. Clinton who held office for two terms is in 6th place. If he survives until the late spring of 2026 he'll crack the top 5.

A very special shout out has to go to Harrison Ruffin Tyler, he never served as President but his grandfather did and Harrison is still alive. His grandfather became president in 1841, his name was John Tyler who was born in 1790!! Harrison is 94 years, he old born in 1928.

I know that the chances are very slim but I just figured it would be a nice round milestone. Actually, Jimmy beat the previous record holder, George HW Bush who passed away in 2018 at 94 years of age.

Are you sure he wasn't a great great grandson? Between 1790 and 1928 is too long for just one generation between them.

What I was referring to is not the oldest President but the President who survived the longest after leaving office. Hoover survived until October 1964, he left office in 1933 so lived 31 years after leaving office. Ford is next at 29 years, Bush comes after that at 25 years 314 days, and rounding out the top 5 is John Adams also 25 years 122 days. Interesting sidenote, John Adams the 2nd President and Thomas Jefferson the 3rd President died on the same day 5 hours apart, the date July 4th 1826.

At this point Carter has survived 42 years and still counting after leaving office.
