Fundamentally decent man ... don't want to jinx it but reminded me of Jimmy Carter. Separated by 5-10 years in their peak power, with similar difference in their age. Both well regarded by their followers but eventually significantly irrelevant (except symbolism) once out of power.
Carter made peace between Israel and Egypt. Hardly a term without significance. Carter went against the real powers in the US and that's why he is being written off history.
