While I certainly like a lot of what Carter did/said and even more so post-presidency, I don't think it's appropriate to hold him up as some sort of patron ideal. The man's record in office is hardly spotless - to name a few notable examples, his government secretly supported the Pol Pot regime and vetoed UN resolutions against the Indonesian government for their actions in East Timor (while ultimately killed over 200,000 people by the time he left office), and he himself openly encouraged Americans to support William Calley, the commander who oversaw the platoon that committed the Mai Lai massacre.
