4. Even the estimable BHO is in JEC's shadow, as a human being.

As good as Mr. Obama was an is, I still say that Mr. Carter is the best "person" to ever hold the office. His humility and boundless desire to do good puts him in a class by himself.

BHO may overtake him one day, as he has a long time left in his life to do good, and I have no doubt he will. But, overtaking JEC's just plain GOODNESS is a 'fur piece,' as they say.
