On President Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday, his Secret Service detail reflects on the assignment of a lifetime
CBS News visited Plains, Georgia, for an inside look at the political outsider's security detail on his 100th birthday.
If I can do half of what he did after he turned 70, I'd take it.
I’m just glad he lived long enough to get to realize he would no longer be considered the worst president.
He had the advantage of Abraham Lincoln making him completely forgettable.
Old Buck was too busy “chasing perfumed young men” than trying to save the country
There is no doubt Buchanan was on the wrong side of history and for that alone should rightfully be judged at the bottom of presidential administrations but this new story line is a fabrication of the present day Gay Mafia.
No. There have been strong rumors for 150+ years. It was a running joke back then. I studied 1850’s political history and the innuendo around Buchanan was constant in the press, political cartoons, etc.
We’ll have to agree to disagree. Most historians do not believe this was true. Buchanan was engaged to the daughter of a wealthy PA iron magnate and when she died he never married. There is no evidence to support it other than he was a lifelong bachelor and had a close friend with whom he lived for a time until that friend died. However this was a common occurrence of the period. The press and other politicians have said untrue things about politicians up until this very day. They said and wrote the most vile things about Abraham Lincoln. This “rumor” has only become semi-mainstream in our current era of gay advocacy.
Fair enough. The funniest dirty politic campaign was against Franklin Pierce. Due to many embarrassing episodes involving his drinking problem (never getting out of his tent for a battle during the Mexican-American War due to a severe hangover, falling off a horse during another battle due to being drunk, etc), wags called him “Hero of Many a Well-Fought Bottle” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If there was any chance of preventing the Civil War, it was lost during President Pierce’s administration.
U. S. Grant also took his fair share of incoming. I believe he is one of the most underrated historical figures, not just presidents, for this reason.Fair enough.

Yup. And he heroically fought cancer to finish his autobiography and provide some semblance of an estate to his family. His autobiography is one of the greatest written by a political/military man
