WHY SOME PRESIDENTS FAIL and why it's often predictable.
"In 1963 President John F. Kennedy designated May as Senior Citizens Month and then in 1980 President Jimmy Carter changed the name to Older Americans Month."

Good morning Lenn,
Sounds like when they take a tax and make it a fee.
Make yourself a great day.

I think many of us are still scratching our heads about Jimmy Carter (even today), Lenn.
Oh and by the way, Lenn, I never knew this was senior citizens or older American's month! I'm glad someone might be "celebrating" me! And all I want is my senior discount!
Donald. THAT was funny.
Raymond. Indeed. One of the many "smoke and mirrors" used to collect tax money.
Nina. I suspect that you're right.
Nina. You will not be happy when you are given a senior discount without asking.
Lenn, it was probably a shot at Ronald Reagan, his likely opponent in the November election, to remind people that Reagan was "old". ^_~
What does older mean? My 25 year old son is older than my 23 year old son. Bruce, #6, might be on to something.
Bruce. Which just proves that old people can be smarter than those not old.
Mike. Bruce is right.

Yes Lenn, Some presidents fail. Jimmy Carter used to be the worst living president. now he has lost that designation.
Bill Roberts
Bill. Sadly, we'll all pay for this debacles for decades, if we're not blown to smithereens.
Sussie. Older than "senior"?? perhaps.
William. And 2 years to go.
Hi Lenn - I don't care what they call me, because in my head, I'm still an 18 year old troublemaker.
As an older American, Senior Citizen I'm just happy to be still walking upright and not getting lost. Funny post Lenn and nice observation.
Lenn, I guess Kennedy was ahead of his time in being politically correct and the Southern boy Carter was not :)
Good evening Lenn. Jimmy Carter new how to run to be president. He did not know how to be a president!
George. We didn't like Carter because he was always in a malaise. He specialized in depression.
Michael. BINGO!
Conrad. That statement of his simply demonstrated his ignorance. I doubt that his lust was in his heart, but about 15 inches lower.
I would much rather be called a senior than an older American. What was he thinking?
