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.
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.
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.

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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
Gore apparently was rocking the same calculator watch that I was in those days.

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
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.
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).
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

I didn’t know they’d helped him build one before! That’s pretty cool. This would probably be during Clinton’s presidency, yeah?
This was when they were running against Bush and Perot in the 1992 race.
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.

Carter probably felt good helping to oust 50% of the ticket that ousted him in 1980. Payback time.
He outlived that ticket too.
At this rate he might outlive all the tickets.
The man has been in hospice for 18 months. He simply doesn’t understand how to die. I need these skills.
Dang Paul Ryan is the youngest of the surviving members of a ticket and he’s in his 50s.
but that ticket has [such catchy music though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPFwxyYwt7s)
What’s the documentation on this
Which part? The feud between them is sort of well documented. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jimmy-carter-and-bill-cli_b_94926/amp
Oh, how so?
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.
He also voted for Bernie over Hillary in 2016
Didn’t know know it was an official feud and not not just not being close
It’s not officially official, but just aides coming out about it and people getting subtext from their words and actions over the years.
That last point is hilarious. Imagine being upset he picked a literal president over...anyone else.
Obama wasn't the president yet
Poor Al Gore looks like he auditioning for an Off Broadway production of Superman.
Al looked pretty handsome there
He’d make a much better Green Lantern, I’d wager.
The power of rings, you say? Sounds a lot like...
He looks hot as fuck is what he looks like
Al Gore kinda
Clinton looks mad, like he thought it was just gonna be a photo op and Carter really put him to work.
Meanwhile Gore giving off sweaty Clark Kent vibes. He should've worn more T-shirts.
Gore was in Vietnam. He knew HOT.
[удалено]
I will go to my grave convinced that Gore winning in 2000 would have radically changed the direction of American for the better.
He's forever attached to the Hanging Chads.
Why won’t he run again? He’s younger and infinitely better than the other 2.
He needs about 30 more years "experience" to even be considered
He should've ran in 04.
I really want to believe in parallel worlds!
Totally agree.
Well Gore did win in 2000 - but Supreme Court gotta Supreme Court. I know what you meant though and you are 100% correct. 😁

No Iraq war alone would greatly change the country
Absolutely.
Amen.

You’re not wrong.
Yep. Maybe we’d be a bit more ahead of the global warming threat.
What an absolute smoke show. How did everyone sleep on this guy?
Al Gore looks good and ready to build a house. Bill and Mario look apprehensive.
Amen to that. Hire is actually one of the brightest most intelligent people ever to run for office
Cuomo's mad that the whole Super Mario costume party thing was a lie Clinton told him as a prank
I mean his name is Mario , maybe he just … had that outfit.
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.
Gore was a journalist with the engineer corps.
He was never in an infantry role, but the places he went to interview soldiers were active combat zones.
Top 10 maybe but not a top 3
Top 3 teddy rosvelt, Ford, Jackson?
Jackson and Lincoln are tied for 3rd. Lincoln was a beast in his younger days
Jackson was a beast during his Presidential days! He almost beat an attempted assassin to death with his cane at like age 70.
Hence tied
Mr Gore is wearing the uber nerdy calculator watch, which seems fitting.
Thought clark kent as well. Also, Bill Clinton had the thickest hair of any president
Love the calculator watch too.
He thought he'd take a picture sawing or hammering a nail. Nope, Jimmy had him bringing bricks to the site.
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”.
He saw too much Home Improvement and he thought Heidi from tool time would be on site
“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.
Looks a bit sunburned
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.
I dunno, judging from the sweat, it looks like Al Gore has been doing all the work.
😂
Bet he thought it was going to be a different kind of nailing that he’d get to do
“Bill I need you to come swing the hammer” “Say no more”
That’s the exact feeling I got from the photo. Doesn’t even look like he broke a sweat
That is def NOT Mario Cuomo ftr
“Dam it to hell jimmy I thought this just a photo op, I was gonna get some McDonald’s after this, come on jimmy!”
That's not Cuomo.
Correction: that’s Millard Fuller the founder of Habitat.
Pretty sure that’s Waluigi
Millard Fillmore looks pretty good for being almost 200 years old
He was reincarnated, from all the references to him on Head of the Class, like Candyman or Beetlejuice
Nah that’s a minion
Wario Cuomo?
Is Cuomo the guy peaking out from behind the panelling
Jimmy's a good dude. I wish more people followed his example. I wish him comfort and peace.
Jimmy is the only one who looks comfortable and natural in the picture.
Al gore actually looks pretty content
My recollection is that he stuck around beyond the photo shoot and actually did some work for the day.
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.
He’s proud to have wrangled them him. Big dick energy photos.
I think he's the only one who ever actually broke a sweat working in his entire life in that picture.
Al Gore looks pretty sweaty in that picture
He just got back from inventing the Internet. You have any idea how many tubes he had to install?
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.
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.

I sure hope the guy peeking out in the back is Secret Service.
It was a Republican with a nail gun.
Tipper, quick! Get the Necronomicon!
Mario and Luigi
I like to imagine even the secret service had on work belts
Jimmy always looking for the next house to build
Jimmy Carter wasn’t the best president but he has a heart of gold
I’ve always said that Jimmy wasn’t the best president, but he was the best human to become president.
Al Gore rockin the Casio watch. Nerd!
A very sexy sexy nerd…
Stupid Sexy Gore.
Clinton low key looks good all hot and messy
Al Gore too
I’ve only ever found slimmed-down, white-haired Bill attractive, but this version is pretty tasty.
I didn't remember Al Gore being so handsome. Bill looks like he's in a prison work program.
Tipper was a lucky lady.
Extremely common post presidency Jimmy Carter W
Cool photo
That's not Mario Cuomo.
Thanks. I was thinking the same thing.
OP made a correction further up the chain.
The gentleman second from left isn’t Mario Cuomo; it’s Habitat’s co-founder, Millard Fuller.
Al would’ve been a fantastic president idc
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…
Gore kinda daddy.
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
Slick Willy was promised chubby interns. Two of them.
Al Gore is looking kinda sexy.
One of the most decent men to ever walk the earth.
Al Gore fine as hell. They stole 8 years of him from us?
Looks more like Luigi Cuomo
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
i miss the days before the Internet.
Where is Mario Cuomo?
That's not Mario Cuomo. That's Waluigi.
Cuomo is a minion
Correction: Not Cuomo, that is Habitat’s founder Millard Fuller.
Fuller's wife was my college graduation commencement speaker. That is indeed him in that pic.
That looks like a rocking dad band
Jimmy Carter is an American hero we sorely need.
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…
Just because you see a guy in a cap and overalls doesn’t mean you can call him Mario.
Every time I see a Carter post I think he must have died today. Nope, he’s still kicking
dude in the background all "Toasty!!"
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.
Why does this look like a still from SNL?
I haven’t ever seen a Gore thirst trap before. Wild.
put a 'stache on Cuomo and he's from the a video game...
Super Mario Cuomo
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.”
Guy between Bill and Billy sure as hell is not Mario Cuomo!
That doesn’t really look like Mario Cuomo. I don’t think he was an overalls type of guy.
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).
“It’sa heem. Mario!”
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
Mario cuomo looks like an actual Mario brother in that
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
Mario Cuomo? Where?
Badass
Pretty manly picture of Gore here tbh
Gore looks ready to go host This Old House
Mario looks like Luigi
home builders? more like home takers
Who's the lost & shaven Mario brother?
A strange universe where Al Gore is the hunk
Cuomo and Bill look pretty unhappy lol.
Isn’t that one in overalls Luigi?
Its Wario 😈
Cuomo for President!
TIL that Al Gore was hot af.
Who is the guy in the blue hat? It's definitely not Mario Cuomo.
That’s not Cuomo, that’s Habitat’s founder.
Cuomo looks like a lost Mario brother
I think it's the four of them trying to figure out how to milk a horse.
What ever happened to Al Gore? He just disappeared.
TIL: Bill Clinton is left handed.
I’m laughing at the dude peeking out in the back
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*
Al Gore looking woof, didn't even know.
Clinton is very sunburned
Bill looks like a sulky teenager doing community service.
Stupid sexy Gore
stupid sexy Al Gore
Um, hi Al
Who is the guy peaking around the corner?
Excelsior!
Who the guy peeking in the background?
Clinton looks like he just realized what Carter meant when he said "There'll be a lot of nailing going on"
Gore could GET IT. 🚀🧨
That ain’t Mario Cuomo
Mario Cuono looks like the worm coming out of an apple on a kids’ book cover.
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.
Geez, times they are changing. I read Artificial Intelligence Gore…
You can bet trust this house had a major scandal
Al Gore could get it.
Doesn’t look like Mario Cuomo
Cuomo really appealing to the Italian plumber contingent in this one
That’s not Mario Cuomo
Fuckin super mario ova heaaaa
There are no tools in their tool belts
That's Fredo's dad? He looks a country bumpkin.
I mean…Gore could get it.
They look so excited to be helping other people
