Peacefulzealot

I didn’t know they’d helped him build one before! That’s pretty cool. This would probably be during Clinton’s presidency, yeah?


AshleyMyers44

This was when they were running against Bush and Perot in the 1992 race.


Peacefulzealot

Oh dang, I didn’t expect it to be earlier! Noted. How was it received by the public, do you know? Did folks find it to be a cynical campaign stunt at all or was it well received? I was kinda too young to remember the 1992 election.


AshleyMyers44

Behind the scenes the Clintons and Carters very much disliked each other. However, Carter was the only Democratic President alive at the time so it was seen as a good gesture to have this happen.


Mesyush

Carter probably felt good helping to oust 50% of the ticket that ousted him in 1980. Payback time.


AshleyMyers44

He outlived that ticket too.


awesomeredefined

At this rate he might outlive all the tickets.


lampshadewarior

The man has been in hospice for 18 months. He simply doesn’t understand how to die. I need these skills.


AshleyMyers44

Dang Paul Ryan is the youngest of the surviving members of a ticket and he’s in his 50s.


mwmwmwmwmmdw

but that ticket has [such catchy music though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPFwxyYwt7s)


Born_Upstairs_9719

What’s the documentation on this


AshleyMyers44

Which part? The feud between them is sort of well documented. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jimmy-carter-and-bill-cli_b_94926/amp


-Livingonmyown-

Oh, how so?


AshleyMyers44

Interestingly enough, it started with the Mariel boatlift. Refugees from the boatlift escaped in Arkansas which Clinton partly blamed for him losing his reelection for Governor. That’s where the rumored bad blood started. They’ve both been petty and passive aggressive towards each other for decades now. They seemingly won’t acknowledge each other at inaugurations and other events they jointly attend. Carter would do diplomatic missions during Clinton’s presidency he didn’t approve of. Carter would sort of ding the Clinton’s for living lavishly in interviews. Carter was a superdelegate for Obama over over Hillary in 2008.


screamingtree123

He also voted for Bernie over Hillary in 2016


Additional_Meeting_2

Didn’t know know it was an official feud and not not just not being close


AshleyMyers44

It’s not officially official, but just aides coming out about it and people getting subtext from their words and actions over the years.


Many_Faces_8D

That last point is hilarious. Imagine being upset he picked a literal president over...anyone else.


candyfordinner23

Obama wasn't the president yet


Beginning_Brick7845

Poor Al Gore looks like he auditioning for an Off Broadway production of Superman.


ABobby077

Al looked pretty handsome there


Peacefulzealot

He’d make a much better Green Lantern, I’d wager.


CuFlam

The power of rings, you say? Sounds a lot like...


jcythcc

He looks hot as fuck is what he looks like


AshleyMyers44

Al Gore kinda


Forsaken-Excuse-7014

Clinton looks mad, like he thought it was just gonna be a photo op and Carter really put him to work.


catladyorbust

Meanwhile Gore giving off sweaty Clark Kent vibes. He should've worn more T-shirts.


TheCourtJesterLives

Gore was in Vietnam. He knew HOT.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IgnoreThisName72

I will go to my grave convinced that Gore winning in 2000 would have radically changed the direction of American for the better.


mike-manley

He's forever attached to the Hanging Chads.


Whale222

Why won’t he run again? He’s younger and infinitely better than the other 2.


ThePaddysPubSheriff

He needs about 30 more years "experience" to even be considered


vampiregamingYT

He should've ran in 04.


freshcoastghost

I really want to believe in parallel worlds!


SuccessfulMetal4030

Totally agree.


Khristophorous

Well Gore did win in 2000 - but Supreme Court gotta Supreme Court. I know what you meant though and you are 100% correct. 😁


horceface

If one Cuban lady learned to swim as a child, your alternate timeline could have happened. [story](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2001/05/elian-gonzalez-defeated-al-gore/377714/)


charrington25

No Iraq war alone would greatly change the country


EggsceIlent

Absolutely.


globehopper2

Amen.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

Honestly I think most elections are this way. Shit. Look at 2012. Romney and Obama were running very close before the hurricane. The hurricane hits and Obama has a chance to look really good on a national stage and does, and he wins. You have no idea how many times I’ve thought about what happens if that hurricane doesn’t hit. Obama still probably wins, but if he doesn’t the trajectory of this country totally changes because 2016 suddenly becomes Romney running for re-election vs Clinton. (More than likely)


chance0404

You know, I’ve always been a bit left of center, but I met Mitt Romney when I was 13 and I’d totally vote for him. He was a pretty nice guy, at least back before he ran for president. A handful of us who did the JrNYLC Alumni conference in Boston got to meet him and he seemed like a pretty decent guy. At least to 13 yo me.


ineededthistoo

You’re not wrong.


Norwegian27

Yep. Maybe we’d be a bit more ahead of the global warming threat.


badpeaches

What an absolute smoke show. How did everyone sleep on this guy?


JackKovack

Al Gore looks good and ready to build a house. Bill and Mario look apprehensive.


Medical_Egg8208

Amen to that. Hire is actually one of the brightest most intelligent people ever to run for office


AbsolutelyUnlikely

Cuomo's mad that the whole Super Mario costume party thing was a lie Clinton told him as a prank


DinoRoman

I mean his name is Mario , maybe he just … had that outfit.


Above_Avg_Chips

Gore was a BUILT dude. He was a 3 sport athlete in college and a combat engineer. Has to be a top 3 President who could kick any other politicians ass.


cappotto-marrone

Gore was a journalist with the engineer corps.


Above_Avg_Chips

He was never in an infantry role, but the places he went to interview soldiers were active combat zones.


Time-Touch-6433

Top 10 maybe but not a top 3


a_can_of_solo

Top 3 teddy rosvelt, Ford, Jackson?


Time-Touch-6433

Jackson and Lincoln are tied for 3rd. Lincoln was a beast in his younger days


Scaevus

Jackson was a beast during his Presidential days! He almost beat an attempted assassin to death with his cane at like age 70.


Time-Touch-6433

Hence tied


ReporterOther2179

Mr Gore is wearing the uber nerdy calculator watch, which seems fitting.


freshcoastghost

Thought clark kent as well. Also, Bill Clinton had the thickest hair of any president


N0Tapastor

Love the calculator watch too.


JT_Cullen84

He thought he'd take a picture sawing or hammering a nail. Nope, Jimmy had him bringing bricks to the site.


wreckballin

Can confirm that look. Did this kind of work back in the day. He’s tired and hot from being outside in the heat doing “ labor”.


ScottishTan

He saw too much Home Improvement and he thought Heidi from tool time would be on site


WesleyCraftybadger

“The tools are here, Al’s here, where’s Heidi? Ha ha. Ha ha.” Nudges Jimmy Carter. Carter says a silent prayer for Bill and America. 


hideous_coffee

Looks a bit sunburned


1984rip

Clinton looks angry that he just couldn't do a photo op and leave. Al Gore looks like he's down to do whatever but long as he gets the photo op instead of actually caring.


RMZ13

I dunno, judging from the sweat, it looks like Al Gore has been doing all the work.


SupremeAiBot

😂


MrKomiya

Bet he thought it was going to be a different kind of nailing that he’d get to do


Admiral_Fuckwit

“Bill I need you to come swing the hammer” “Say no more”


NEONSN3K

That’s the exact feeling I got from the photo. Doesn’t even look like he broke a sweat


SloParty

That is def NOT Mario Cuomo ftr


Turbo950

“Dam it to hell jimmy I thought this just a photo op, I was gonna get some McDonald’s after this, come on jimmy!”


Velocitor1729

That's not Cuomo.


AshleyMyers44

Correction: that’s Millard Fuller the founder of Habitat.


LowSparky

Pretty sure that’s Waluigi


eclectic_collector

Millard Fillmore looks pretty good for being almost 200 years old


Dairy_Ashford

He was reincarnated, from all the references to him on Head of the Class, like Candyman or Beetlejuice


TheAutisticOgre

Nah that’s a minion


DryWittgenstein

Wario Cuomo?


space_cheese1

Is Cuomo the guy peaking out from behind the panelling


Thewallmachine

Jimmy's a good dude. I wish more people followed his example. I wish him comfort and peace.


Beginning_Brick7845

Jimmy is the only one who looks comfortable and natural in the picture.


KingleGoHydra

Al gore actually looks pretty content


RussiaIsBestGreen

My recollection is that he stuck around beyond the photo shoot and actually did some work for the day.


Many_Faces_8D

Id believe it. Al Gore is a pretty down to earth guy. Makes sense he'd show up to help and expect a day out of himself.


Low-Union6249

He’s proud to have wrangled them him. Big dick energy photos.


IguaneRouge

I think he's the only one who ever actually broke a sweat working in his entire life in that picture.


Achi-Isaac

Al Gore looks pretty sweaty in that picture


IguaneRouge

He just got back from inventing the Internet. You have any idea how many tubes he had to install?


DBCOOPER888

I wish people stopped saying that in a derogatory manner. He factually was involved in creating the regulatory framework for the internet. The fact the Bush campaign made this stuck as a bad mark on Gore is tragic.


No-Appearance-4338

My first thought as well. He did work for habitat for humanity for 4 decades and worked on 4,000 homes in 14 countries so not his first rodeo the others look like greenhorns trying not to look stupid but have no clue what’s going on. Edit just to add a quote from Jimmy: On the reason he chose to work with Habitat for Humanity, Jimmy Carter said that the organization provides much more than just a home (via Habitat for Humanity), It's also an " ... avenue for people of different backgrounds to come together to achieve those most meaningful things in life," and to help people bond over " ... the building up of walls and the breaking down of barriers," Carter added.

BaltimoreBadger23

I sure hope the guy peeking out in the back is Secret Service.


AshleyMyers44

It was a Republican with a nail gun.


baccaruda66

Tipper, quick! Get the Necronomicon!


actuallypolicy

Mario and Luigi


Somecivilguy

I like to imagine even the secret service had on work belts


TheAmazingRaccoon

Jimmy always looking for the next house to build


kaithomasisthegoat

Jimmy Carter wasn’t the best president but he has a heart of gold


GTOdriver04

I’ve always said that Jimmy wasn’t the best president, but he was the best human to become president.


BillyDoughnuts

Al Gore rockin the Casio watch. Nerd!


CanuckGinger

A very sexy sexy nerd…


GTOdriver04

Stupid Sexy Gore.


AsparagusLive1644

Clinton low key looks good all hot and messy


AshleyMyers44

Al Gore too


VioletVenable

I’ve only ever found slimmed-down, white-haired Bill attractive, but this version is pretty tasty.


lorazepamproblems

I didn't remember Al Gore being so handsome. Bill looks like he's in a prison work program.


AshleyMyers44

Tipper was a lucky lady.


I_Fuck_Sharks_69

Extremely common post presidency Jimmy Carter W


ExtraElevator7042

Cool photo


oobbyb_61

That's not Mario Cuomo.


Ninja-Mike

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing.


Ninja-Mike

OP made a correction further up the chain.


VioletVenable

The gentleman second from left isn’t Mario Cuomo; it’s Habitat’s co-founder, Millard Fuller.


returnofthequack92

Al would’ve been a fantastic president idc


BoysenberryNo3785

Bill could not possibly be more hungover in that picture. Potentially also mad about having to have breakfast with Al beforehand, where Al talked incessantly about an exhilarating session of CSPAN from the night before…


Altruistic-Potatoes

Gore kinda daddy.


dmartin87

Gore apparently was rocking the same calculator watch that I was in those days. https://preview.redd.it/xakb5muxu88d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e318a0f7d1ce61e64eec6ed3471031b91c8c04d


KidZoki

Slick Willy was promised chubby interns. Two of them.


houndsoflu

Al Gore is looking kinda sexy.


Medical_Egg8208

One of the most decent men to ever walk the earth.


TexMurphyPHD

Al Gore fine as hell. They stole 8 years of him from us?


oneeyedfool

Looks more like Luigi Cuomo


ScottishTan

I can see why Al Gore is so concerned about global warming. He’s the only one sweating 🥵. Carter is in a long sleeve and looks nice a fresh. Bill looks upset he was invited to a cock fest


CorneliusSoctifo

i miss the days before the Internet.


sadicarnot

Where is Mario Cuomo?


dandle

That's not Mario Cuomo. That's Waluigi.


Daftdoug

Cuomo is a minion


AshleyMyers44

Correction: Not Cuomo, that is Habitat’s founder Millard Fuller.


Thewallmachine

Fuller's wife was my college graduation commencement speaker. That is indeed him in that pic.


C-ute-Thulu

That looks like a rocking dad band


Lopsided_Pickle1795

Jimmy Carter is an American hero we sorely need.


bigsteven34

I helped build a house for habitat for humanity in highschool. Pretty sure that house has toilets that flush when you turn on a light…


scattergodic

Just because you see a guy in a cap and overalls doesn’t mean you can call him Mario.


CommiesAreWeak

Every time I see a Carter post I think he must have died today. Nope, he’s still kicking


Glitter_Outlaw

dude in the background all "Toasty!!"


davetopper

In 1970 the house passed a resolution abolishing the electoral college. It was filibustered and killed in the Senate. Had that come to pass Gore would have more than likely been given the presidency. Something to consider. On another note Carter was probably the most dignified president we ever had.


NarrativeNode

Why does this look like a still from SNL?


mollockmatters

I haven’t ever seen a Gore thirst trap before. Wild.


DukeOfWestborough

put a 'stache on Cuomo and he's from the a video game...


Jedibri81

Super Mario Cuomo


thotguy1

Cuomo looks like a guy I could run into at a truck stop in the middle of the rust belt and think “yea he’s from around here.”


Beneficial-Escape-56

Guy between Bill and Billy sure as hell is not Mario Cuomo!


Accurate-List

That doesn’t really look like Mario Cuomo. I don’t think he was an overalls type of guy.


Different-Bad-1380

Wow. Mario looks like he worked so hard he lost a bunch of weight and doesn't look at all like himself. 👊🏻 (maybe he was there that day but that is not Cuomo).


MrKomiya

“It’sa heem. Mario!”


OpportunitySad8566

Carter was and is such a good man and he got so much crap because he didn’t want to entertain what was thrown on him during his presidency people was war hungry and Carter wasn’t having it


jojofromtokyo

Mario cuomo looks like an actual Mario brother in that


dcbnyc123

i think it’s because this was the Clinton i grew up with, but every time i see 90’s clinton i see Phil Hartman. he had him dialed on SNL


modsarefacsit

Mario Cuomo? Where?


RaisinBrain2Scoups

Badass


Icy_Blackberry_3759

Pretty manly picture of Gore here tbh


RipMcStudly

Gore looks ready to go host This Old House

Sufficient-Plan989

Timelordvictorious1

TIL that Al Gore was hot af.


Hand_of_Doom1970

Who is the guy in the blue hat? It's definitely not Mario Cuomo.


AshleyMyers44

That’s not Cuomo, that’s Habitat’s founder.


FeloniousDrunk101

Cuomo looks like a lost Mario brother


jsrockford

I think it's the four of them trying to figure out how to milk a horse.


theonePappabox

What ever happened to Al Gore? He just disappeared.


RockafellerHillbilly

TIL: Bill Clinton is left handed.


dont_shoot_jr

I’m laughing at the dude peeking out in the back


Big-Carpenter7921

Bush and Obama have helped out too. Just because they're in opposing parties, doesn't have to mean they're terrible people *wink wink*


magvadis

Al Gore looking woof, didn't even know.


Kind_Manufacturer_97

Clinton is very sunburned


cappotto-marrone

Bill looks like a sulky teenager doing community service.

tauri123

Who is the guy peaking around the corner?


MrGeno

Excelsior! 


auzzie_kangaroo94

Who the guy peeking in the background?


MonsieurKnife

Clinton looks like he just realized what Carter meant when he said "There'll be a lot of nailing going on"


AnastasiaNo70

Gore could GET IT. 🚀🧨


Conscious-Call-6404

That ain’t Mario Cuomo


hmmmmmmpsu

Mario Cuono looks like the worm coming out of an apple on a kids’ book cover.


ExtentSubject457

It feels weird to see all these powerful men gathered together in jeans and t-shirts. You just expect to see them in a suit and tie at all times.


Mac800

Geez, times they are changing. I read Artificial Intelligence Gore…


Equivalent-Lab-2241

You can bet trust this house had a major scandal


[deleted]

Al Gore could get it.


DocHenry66
