I totally agree. As a survivor of the Carter Era (I still have the sweater I wore when I turned my thermostat down to 68 degrees), there could not be more difference in attitude between those two gentlemen (and I use that term in its most complimentary sense). While Carter tried to instill a humbleness in our country, a reflection, I believe, of his own personality, Obama would have once again have us look to our potential for greatness. His belief in who we are and what we can achieve is what we need today. Much more Reaganesque that Carterish, I would think. Not in policy but in a strong patriotism and a pride in America.
