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. While other nations have since adopted America’s democratic system, ours remains the gold standard by which all others are judged. No other country has so successfully respected the tradition of free and fair elections and the personal willingness to give up power.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that Jimmy Carter is the only former president willing to commit to Trump’s inauguration. George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush have all received invites but have so far not commented on whether they will attend.

amen, about time
American Christians, our neighbors and alike, let’s not be foolish, rather take heed of understanding the moment. In these times will fulfill scripture, Luke 22:38. Not even the desciples understood our Lords Word and only a few preachers. 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied. One sword here is the Word of God and the other sword, for you to sell your cloak and purchase, a way to defend yourself. In the Roman times of our Lord the sword, as a defense weapon, would be like a 9mm or 45 pistol in our times. Our Christian American early leaders gave us the 2nd amendment because they could see we would need it, just like our Lord could see the same, and warns us. Carry Both Swords together with love and devotion, please. 12/20/2016 – 12/30/2017
We believe in God our Father, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob creator of Heaven and Earth; and in Jesus Christ, Gods only son our Lord, the Alpha and Omega, thank you for this moment in time. We thank you for making known your presence. Thank you for each one of our brother and sisters as well neighbors in your Son Christ Jesus. Please Lord help us defend ourselves, we are naive within your perfect love to your enemies true will. We so dearly love You, need You, patiently seeking your face, our Rock, our Fortress and our deliverer; O’ God, our strength in whom we trust. amen
All the more reason to stand with President Trump!
Character does matter and does show with abundance in group of elitist.
Great jimmy
Not true Obama will also be there, Clinton was never going to come, although if he put country first he would, but that will never happen!! The older Bush wealth wise probably a good idea not to come, younger Bush better show up, or I will lose a lot of respect for him!
The 4 to the left of Carter could kick the bucket as far as I’m concerned. There should be a place to exile ex presidents to.
about time people found out what this people stand for n is not america
ALL ONE WORLD ORDER GLOBALIST. Absolutely worthless.
These f***ing asswipes are a disgrace to America and the whole world knows it as well. This shows how dim witted these asswipes really are, and thank you Jimmy Carter.
