Former president Jimmy Carter undergoes surgery to repair broken hip after fall at his home

Former president Jimmy Carter is recovering from surgery after a fall Monday morning in which he broke his hip. 

The Carter Center said in a statement that Carter, 94, was leaving his home in Plains, Georgia, to go turkey hunting when he took a fall. The former president is recovering at Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Ga., after surgery that his surgeon said was successful. His wife, Rosalynn, is with him. 

"President Carter said his main concern is that turkey season ends this week, and he has not reached his limit," the Carter Center said in its statement. "He hopes the State of Georgia will allow him to rollover the unused limit to next year." 

Carter announced in 2015 that doctors had discovered a form of melanoma that had spread to his brain. He received his first radiation treatment at age 90. Four months later, he was -- remarkably -- cancer free.

He is also the only President in recent memory that is a actually a good person and lives his life in a Christian way unlike others who just use it to pander for votes. He also accomplished some good during his 4 years in office.

I was posting a MC ism.  I don’t really care about Carter either way.  He is a good person,  doesn’t make him a good president.   I do wonder how he would look after getting the Trump treatment, like  Mc posts every day. Maybe, all those blacks working the Carter farm for pennies a day , weren’t all whistling Dixie?

such as

his failures were long but looking back the one thing he was right about and it never really went anywhere was that our healthcare system was fucked up and needed systematic changes.  

Post presidency he may have been the best of all time,  as you said he was a good person and a real christian.

He did some good work in the Middle East Peace arena and China relations.

His legacy will be remembered after his POTUS stint.  This is a good thing.  A failure for a national leader but, like you said, he’s a good man chalked full of a lot of common sense.

Jimmy has done good things around the globe since being POTUS, never lined his pockets for his work either.   The dem party turned on him early and hard, he was a outsider from the hicks and sticks of GA. , the party henchdems wanted none of it.  Billy was a hoot , pissing in the rose garden in broad daylight, telling jokes , swilling beer, telling the same rinse and repeat entrenched dem media to stuff it.

He did zero good work in the middle east. He’s a terrorist sympathizer. He supports Hamas and hezbollah. Im not a crazy pro Israel guy but the idea that Israel owes the Palestines anything is a joke and these two organizations use Palestines as a bs reason to continue firing rockets into Israel. Carter did zero to fix this on going situation. He perpetuated the problem by being used as a pawn
