Horrible.

I wish those two old dudes would move, there's more stuff to look at and criticize.

Kerry holds Cater's hand with both of his.

That shows both warmth and respect.

Thanks ProSense~

I know a young man from Ethiopia, who is now an American citizen. He joined the American Armed Forces this year. And I wonder if he will be one of their young leaders.

Beautiful hearts and spirits worldwide will change the planet. Carter was a great POTUS and I'm glad to see him back in D.C. for any reason.

Thanks ProSense for this great picture.

It is fun being in the same decade with you.

Former President Jimmy Carter announced support for NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden this week, saying that his uncovering of the agency's massive surveillance programs had proven "beneficial."
