Other than Barack Obama, only four living people know firsthand the rigors of the presidency — and three of them have refused to RSVP to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The peaceful transfer of power between presidents is one of the most profound and important aspects of American democracy. At the outset of our nation’s history, it was what set us apart from the monarchies of Europe.

No other country has so successfully respected the tradition of free and fair elections and the personal willingness to give up power.

Who needs them
Jimmy thank you for being an American
Jimmy’s going simply because he can look and laugh at Obama and say now you the worst.
All of the criminals that brought us to the edge………how nice!!!! Just like bed bugs, hand together to draw blood when given the chance. Good RINO’s and Democratic Socialists all.
Now one can distinctly separate the mentality of these 4 juvenile bullies from Trump. We need men to behave like gentlemen. Not freak sissies like you all are…
Jimmy knows Trump will be GREAT and for the bother 4 Stoogies lol
Gosh, I am looking forward to seeing Trump in one of pictures….
Everyone of them are traitors to America, they all wanted NWO and communist country except Carter, he is a true Christian!!
No big loss.
Terrell Smith whiners, party of two.
