He was the last of Joe Kennedy Sr.'s four sons and was known as Jimmy Kennedy growing up. He was a pretty good person who did much to help others after leaving the white house. Interesting facts: He was the first president born in a hospital and the first person from the deep south to win the presidency after the Civil War. He was 100 years old.
Carter had a tough time as President, but he accomplished a lot in his life afterwords. Having lived my whole life in Georgia, much more local news on his commitment and lifetime work, dedication and support to Habitat For Humanity. Many, many times the local news would feature him in his 70’s & 80’s actually wearing a hardhat and working on a house that was being constructed. That wasn’t seen much nationally.
Lillian Carter (Jimmy Carter’s mother) was Joseph Kennedy Sr.'s secretary. Joe Kennedy used the money he made running liquor during prohibition to get all 4 of his sons into positions of power: 1 became Attorney General, 1 became a long-sitting Senator, and 2 became President. When an reporter once asked Jimmy Carter about his brother Ted perhaps running against him for the White House, Jimmy Carter who never used foul language replied “I’ll kick my brother’s ass.” He made it pretty clear several times that he didn’t like being the illegitimate Kennedy.
Actually, President Jimmy Carter was not the son of Joe Kennedy. Jimmy Carter was born to James Earl Carter Sr. and Lillian Gordy Carter in Plains, Georgia. The claim that he was the son of Joe Kennedy seems to be a mix-up or a piece of misinformation. Joe Kennedy was the father of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Senator Ted Kennedy, among others.
A great, some even say a giant of a man, Jimmy Carter’s legacy lives on through Habitat for Humanity. Former president helped build , renovate and repair more than 4,331 homes.
Luckily for him, pedo j0biden steals his crown as the worst President in modern American history. As history is exposed/brought to light, Barry might steal the crown from Joe.
