Dave And Amy Carter Call Rosalynn Carter | Letterman

[@keithgrillo8096]

Amazing that Amy appeared on Dave’s show. She always kept out of the limelight . My sincerest condolences to the Carter family.

[@doktortutankamazon31]

She was arrested with Abbie Hoffman protesting CIA recruitment in colleges.

She was so young. I loved her dad and still do. Her parents were so decent and did so much for others. RIP Mrs. Carter you were a wonderful example of America. God bless you President Carter and your family.

Very shy, sweet and natural young lady. She's unlike many other kids of famous people, who are loud, often spoiled, and obnoxious. Dave was very respectful of her shyness, which is nice.

Thrilled to see and hear Dave Letterman and a very grown up Amy Carter. My sincere condolences to Amy and all of her family. We admired and loved your mother, she was a kind and elegant first lady. She respected others and always conducted herself with grace and dignity. Losing a parent is always a very emotional time, no matter if we knew that it was possibly going to happen soon. Stay safe and God Bless you and your family.

Man that was fast! Plains Ga is about 12 miles from me right now, so thank you for the timely upload on behalf of all of us here in the area. Her institute actually funded a job I had for a year doing IT work for the local nursing school here, and it was one of my favorite jobs I’ve had thus far. She was a treasure, and will be missed. Edit: was referring to Rosalynn, didn’t realize the interview was mainly with Amy. Still really cool to see this!

RIP Rosalynn Carter

[@jaredjlinden]

We need more people like the Carters. President and Mrs. Carter returned to their hometown after his term in office was complete, to live in the same modest home they lived in previously (the last previous president to do so was Harry Truman). They’ve spent their golden years giving back to the community. Their kids seemingly have not tried to capitalize on dad’s fame in order to line their pockets, and they’ve stayed out of the spotlight. They have set a fine example for others to follow.

[@nuttybar9]

They never did anything for the Whites.

[@bridgetw.5328]

I love, admire and respect the Carters. Pres. Carter was the first president that I voted for, and there isn't a day that goes by that makes me more prouud of votingn for him over Ronald Reagan who was a horrible president, without the morals and ethics of Jimmy Carter. RIP to one of the most intelligent, kind and loving first ladies ever in Rosalynn Carter, champion of mental health issues and who worked side by side with Pres. Carter on Habitat for Humanity, one of the most worthwile things any president has championed. Love the Carters as if they were family. I already miss Rosalynn, and Pres. Carter will be with her when God calls him home ❤❤

[@flyingjazz5193]

These dozen minutes with Amy Carter and four with her mom show how genuinely wonderful Rosalynn Carter was both as a public figure and as a parent. That combination was just as hard back then as it is today. It's also clear why Amy is there from the smile on her face when looking at Dave and from the timing of her laughter at his jokes and the joy in Rosalynn's voice when she says Amy is Letterman's number-one-fan.

[@christ1159]

She popped up in a 60 Minutes interview with Jimmy Carter in 2009 or 2010. Carter was promoting his White House Diaries book. It was probably Amy's first television interview since this Letterman appearance.

She was about 54 here. She was born in August 1927. She was 40 when she had Amy and 49 when they entered The White House in 1977 and turned 50 the same year and left 4 years later. I commented the same thing too though. She probably never imagined she’d live another 42 years! EDIT: My apology as I misread your comment. Oh well for anyone possibly looking for a breakdown on her years, here it is LOL.

I’m a gal and 3 years older than Amy. I remember seeing pictures of her…maybe it was on the nightly news or something and being envious of the tree house (I think her dad built for her?) at the White House. I wish DL could’ve interviewed her a bit longer because she started out so shyly and was getting more comfortable at the end. When Mrs. Carter said she’d had a long life, regarding the finishing up of her autobiography, she probably never imagined herself living another 42 years to 96. She was a dear lady. Condolences to Amy and her entire family.

I was 13 when President Carter was elected and being an Alabamian was thrilled a Southerner was in the White House.

@@KathleenPriem-xl7lp You're correct, it was all part of the "October Surprise" that Bu$h 41 (as the G0P VP nominee in the fall of '80) helped engineer. Carter was close to negotiating the hostages' release by unfreezing Iranian assets held in US banks. Bu$h, representing the Reagan team, took it a step further by promising Iran weapons (to be used in their war against Iraq) that would be secretly funneled through Israel, in exchange for Iran delaying the hostages' release until after Reagan was sworn in. This not only ensured that Carter wouldn't be able to get the hostages freed before the November election - essentially guaranteeing Reagan's victory - but it set the stage for the Iran-Contra affair a number of years later. Despicable, CLASSIC Repub dirty tricks 🤬😩😡
