I'm watching that too- more than pale, he looks like he is at death's door! Not even sure if he is conscious. I will not be surprised if he dies before the week is out! I strongly recommend that if he is still alive on January 1st, you make him number one on the list- but I don't expect it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comped 534 Posted November 28, 2023 He looks so terrible I had to question myself if it was indeed Jimmy Carter in the photos. Also side note - is there a photo of him available from the service where his mouth is closed? It seems to be quite wide open in all the photos and videos I've seen of him at the event.

Death Impends 8,043 Posted November 28, 2023 He looked godawful a few months back when he and Rosalynn went on that parade ride. Compared to today, him in the car pic looks AMAZING. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,083 Posted November 28, 2023 I do agree he looks half-dead already. I’m standing my ground and say he’ll reach 2024 though even if I began to doubt it… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder whether Rosalynn still looks better than Jimmy even now.Seems a realistic possibility. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,083 Posted November 28, 2023 On a side note : quite a remarkable moment to witness a 99yo man, 10 month in hospice care attend his own wife Memorial in such a mediocre condition. Their love and his strengh are quite impressive. To show yourself in such a weak state takes strengh and resilience that, I think, only his love for Rosalynn can explain. 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His lips are extremely pale and I can see a purplish tint which indicates he isn't getting enough oxygen. Also his mouth is gaping open in all the photos. This means he really has to labour his breaths to get oxygen. Not a doctor but it wouldn't surprise me if his doctors advised him not to go and he ignored them. I dunno why there isn't an oxygen tank with him 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That pick as number one always confused me considering that Dick continues to work, and has a recent history of strenuous physical activity and otherwise being active, unlike most other people on the list. Including for obvious reasons Jimmy Carter. Arguably in his condition Dick shouldn't have been on the list at all, and someone like Carter should have been number one... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno why there isn't an oxygen tank with him In his condition ( hospice quite possibly on end of life at this point quite possibly) the only purpose clinically for oxygen is for comfort therefore if he isn't distressed there wouldn't be a medical need to prescribe it. Due to the stress of the situation and the cold weather and the fact he is being moved around I am surprised it wasn't prescribed for comfort though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,367 Posted November 28, 2023 Looks like my prediction that this would be another James Callaghan situation ( attends wife's funeral then dies shortly after) may well prove accurate. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jd24fan 78 Posted November 28, 2023 It's obvious Jimmy is near the end looking at him. I'm sure the recent loss of the love of his life is taking an even bigger toll. To be married for 77 years is remarkable in and of itself. I can take comfort in the fact that they'll be reunited soon enough. He's had a very long life, and has touched so many lives in 99 years. He's earned his reward for eternity. I hope they're at least keeping him comfortable in his last days. God bless Jimmy Carter. He may not be the best president, but probably the classiest person to ever hold the office, and I'm not sure if any other president will come close. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craigerz 60 Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Contrary to most of what is being said here, i think he looks better than most people still would at 99, however there has clearly been a massive deterioration in the last year. Can we also mention how terrible Bill Clinton looks, I'd say he only has a few more years in him! Edited November 28, 2023 by Craigerz Typo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy and Rosalyn maybe were not the most best president and First Lady at their time in office but they were perhaps, the most humble, loyal, down to earth presidential couple in the US history ! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
