Jimmy Carter, at his core, was an extremely honest man. The presidency didn't change that; it made him more decent, caring, and giving after leaving office.
In light of America's dark turn to someone who isn't decent, I'm afraid Carter was perhaps the last most human president we'll ever glimpse in our lifetime.
My one encounter with Carter almost got me fired: during a meeting, I saw him from my office window and impulsively waved. He waved back.
