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.

I see four bed pans standing there but, i have to say Jimmy Cater is the only real man standing there cause he is the only one going to Trumps inaguration party..
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ROBBED WE THE PEOPLE JUST LIKE OBAMA
Obama couldn’t find his own$#%&!@*using both of his hands.. So i for one am going to sit back and watch Donald Trump.. Give the man a chance, he isn’t even in office yet…
None of them need to go to the inauguration! Jimmy needs to stay home, read his Bible & read what it says about messing with Israel! The others refused to support him, so stay away!!!
Oh. My
Shame – that is not what America is about.
F**K THEM ALL! They were all$#%&!@*ups what makes them special!
Screw them who needs them anyways
No class, no dignity, pouting in a corner like a child, who doesn’t get his way. Better find a safety pin, so you can find your safe space.
Let them all be ‘JERKS’.
