It is an interesting fact of political life that regardless of campaign rhetoric, every president tends to govern from the middle, they really have no other choice. This trend gives them insight into the problems the previous president had. Even Hoover was much more appreciated after he left the presidency and Roosevelt realized maybe he wasn't such an idiot after all.
Carter is the one that is outside the mold, he was weird as a president and he is still weird, although he was probably the best read president since TR.
Good insights,
RW
