Jimmy Carter has died and I'm pissed -- he was only 100 years old and we didn't get to have him nearly long enough.
The man from Plains, Georgia travelled far and wide in his century on earth, including a stint in the Navy, Georgia state politics, the peanut business, amazing humanitarian work and elections monitoring -- and yes, he was also the 39th President of the United States.
Here's Jimmy Carter in NYC on July 14th, 1976 accepting his presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention at Madison Square Garden.
And here is the early morning hours of November 3rd, 1976 when he's declared Presdient-elect by Barbara Walters broadcasting live from NYC.
And here's a story about his work with Habitat for Humanity in NYC.
RIP Mr President. We didn't deserve you. We'll never see your likes again.
