George W. Bush gave fellow former president Barack Obama a friendly belly tap at the Jan. 9 funeral of Jimmy Carter, and the internet was obsessed with the viral moment.
However, one notable absence was former First Lady Michelle Obama. Her husband ... Jason and James; Steven Ford, on behalf of his late father President Gerald Ford; Ted Mondale, on behalf of ...
Steven Ford, the son of late President Gerald Ford, delivered the eulogy Thursday that his father had written for late President Jimmy Carter. Steven Carter reflected on Carter's death with "America Decides.
Billionaires, foreign leaders and celebrities including Mike Tyson and Carrie Underwood will appear at the inauguration. Some prominent Democrats are taking a pass.

President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, former presidents and other dignitaries came together Thursday to honor the life of former President Jimmy Carter at a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Thursday concluded six days of national rites that began in Plains, where Carter, a former Naval officer, engineer and peanut farmer, was born in 1924, lived most of his life and died after 22 months in hospice care.
A state funeral is a gathering of the Washington clans, a convocation of the very establishment that Trump has pledged to destroy in his second term.
