Carter certainly leads the field when it comes to using whatever clout being a former president allows in the aid of humanitarian and charitable causes. Still don't think he was much of a president. He was basically a good, decent, honorable man who, by virtue of being good, decent, and honorable, was ill equipped to survive the shark tank of Washington politics...
GHWB has allied himself with the many causes and efforts of Clinton in an example of where decency trumps politics. Any man who puts humanity first deserves respect...
Incidentally, do you know what Reagan's first major undertaking was as an ex-president? He went to Japan to give a speech touting the virtues and glories of Japanese indiustry and technology. He got paid a million dollars for the speech and pocketed another estimated one million in "honorariums" from Japanese corporations. So much for "Buy American" and supporting the American worker...
