four president examples ( presumably of Presidents the mod has never heard of)

And some idiot has to turn it political.  For Gods sake give it a rest.

Carter was of his time and having to follow Nixon cant have been easy but he did it and did it well.

Aye, nothing political about presidents. 🙄

[youngmafbog]

You know exactly what I mean, it's about President Carter passing.  Other comments about anything else are in very poor tasate.

Selective respect. Bless.

selective deletion - very wise seletive deletion ( me only)

Carter was of his time and having to follow Nixon 

erm He didnt - Gerald Ford did 

only apptd president - but then he won an election later. We really always knew that didnt we?

But.... LBJ ( a thousand ABers scream who he den) left his library to Texas Uni . After Nixon and document destruction - the presidentia papers were nationalised - the federal's  and no personall 

oo-er Mar a Lago - The Donald rather missed that one!

sound of AB lavvy flusing down a post

[Peter Pedant]

Aye, nothing political about presidents.

yeah I noticed that Doug - de mortuis nill nizzy bonum as the Romans used to say - no not St Paul silly !, the men who  lived in Roma !

about the dead- only the good ( things)

God the mods have taken that to their stone hearts!

[Peter Pedant]

The other post mentioned four other er dead Presidents - Harding FDR Truman and how their post presidential reputation tanked or not

how un mimsy - dead people ! take it out!
