Jimmy Carter will serve the remaining time of his life, apparently. in the peaceful way that he lived it. It was announced to the sadness of those who lived through his presidency that he will be receiving hospice care at his home.
The former president, the first that I was able to vote for, took office vowing to change politics as they were. However, a series of mishaps and probably the lack of support from a congress of which his party was in the majority, in addition to a charismatic opponent in Ronald Reagan, swept him out of the Whitehouse in a Republican landslide not seen in years.
In the remaining decades, Carter has inspired even longtime opponents, by building houses for the poor and his low-key lifestyle. He is the oldest living former president.
