DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 16, 2009 A few news sites are reporting that Jimmy Carter escaped an al Qaeda inspired assassination attempt while visiting The Gaza Strip today. That would have been a not insignificant death. Report Another Report Carter had a lucky escape; the [200kg] bomb would have been lethal had it exploded. Lethal 200kg bombs? Whatever next?

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted August 27, 2010 I saw pictures of Mr Carter on the box today, as he fetched a US prisoner from North Korea. He's looks like he's 85, but otherwise he seems in good nick. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 1, 2014 The moon will be out singing tonight but I don't know about aliens. UFO's? "There were about twenty of us standing outside of a little restaurant, I believe, a high school lunch room, and a kind of green light appeared in the western sky. This was right after sundown. It got brighter and brighter. And then it eventually disappeared. It didn't have any solid substance to it, it was just a very peculiar-looking light. None of us could understand what it was."

chicago103 41 Posted June 6, 2015 Today Jimmy Carter has surpassed the lifespan of John Adams of 90 years and 247 days. This now means that the four longest living Presidents in order are: 1. Gerald Ford; July 14, 1913-December 26, 2006; 93 years, 165 days 2. Ronald Reagan; February 6, 1911-June 5, 2004; 93 years, 120 days 3. George H.W. Bush; June 12, 1924-still living; 90 years, 359 days 4. Jimmy Carter; October 1, 1924-still living; 90 years 248 days This is significant because the four longest lived U.S. Presidents served consecutively to each other from 1974-1993, each have lived longer than every President from George Washington to Richard Nixon, they each lived into the 21st Century, and two of them (George HW Bush and Jimmy Carter) are still alive. Also we are now in the second period in history that two 90+ year old Presidents were alive at once, the first period was between July 13, 2003 (Gerald Ford's 90th birthday) and June 5, 2004 (Ronald Reagan's death). On October 1, 2014 Jimmy Carter turned 90 and joined George HW as the other living President who turned 90 on June 12, 2014. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still reckon that - in that company - Carter may prove the longest lasting. Bush, the elder, is only a matter of months older than Carter, and in way worse health.

I still reckon that - in that company - Carter may prove the longest lasting. Bush, the elder, is only a matter of months older than Carter, and in way worse health. I agree, in fact I expanded on this premise in the George HW Bush thread. I think there a good chance GHWB will die before the 2016 election and the usual post-mortem nostalgia for recently departed Presidents will help his son Jeb Bush get elected. Jimmy Carter has less than three years to go in order to beat Gerald Ford's record and I don't think GHWB will beat Ford's longevity. With GHWB out of the way Carter will have a clear shot at the longevity title and then he will have all the big longevity records, he will have the longest retirement (he already does since 2012 surpassing Hoover) of 34 years and counting as well as overall longevity. Then there is the minor record of being the oldest second oldest living President in history in about a couple of months when (assuming GHWB lives that long) Carter will surpass the age Gerald Ford was on the day of Ronald Reagan's death on June 5, 2004 when Ford was just a month shy of his 91st birthday. In other words Carter is like Ford was, 90 years old and still not yet the oldest living President. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted June 6, 2015 GHW Bush is unlikely to beat Gerald Fords record as longest lived president , so he WILL die this year next year or the year after ! Jimmy Carter on the other hand will live to be 98 at least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
