It all depends on the criteria, to discuss whether we are in a better place than in the early 80s when he graduated college.

What criteria is he using?

Whatever makes him look good. I don't think he was 100% serious or particularly thoughtful. He was just trying to support his public image.

I suppose Americans have more and cooler stuff than we did 35 years ago, and if you're talking to an African-American audience having an African-American president might be taken as progress, but I wouldn't overthink this.

In terms of the economy and foreign policy Carter left us in a bad place and Obama (and Bush) have done the same, however one might want to tweak things to make one or the other look better or worse.

The nation will be in a better place when the Kenyan is in the nether place.
