I think Carter made mistakes, in fact he readily admits he did, but he 
is the only one of the list that actually struck me as always trying to 
do the right thing.  Every one of the others would have had trouble 
convincing me that he had us, the people, in mind when making all 
decisions.   Mistakes made, he trudged forward and continued to do (near 
as I could see) his best to perform the duties at hand.  Maybe it 
resonates with me because I have always struggled to do the right thing 
and I clearly see now that I made mistakes, but what more can one do but 
try one's best to assess the situation at hand and proceed from there?  
Surely we can't ask more than a man's best......

It would be refreshing to be able to believe that of all our presidents, 
not?
