Yes, that was very well said Gil, as he did seem to truly be a good and humble man!
During his Presidency, there were two things that I've never been able to forgive him for ... the mishandling of the Hostage situation and giving away the Panama Canal, which is currently really biting us in the butt hard!!
As a guess the foibles of his time in office my not really be a true reflection of the man himself, but rather that of his advisors, who may well have been working an agenda that came from outside the administration, and thus not Carter's own best efforts or even his true wishes!?!?
After he left office, I believe the true colors of the man's real nature shown through bright and clear!!!
