agreed, Carter messed up in a couple ways
by the way, you Bushy Boys, Carter was a Democrat liberal

he was pre-occupied with the Palestinian peace process, and was willing to put the key parties in jeopardy to gain that peace
a noble effort, but not practical
Sadat was assassinated, while Arabs isolated the USA

he was a cabinet minister micro-manager, and did not delegate well

but he inherited a messy economy only 5 years after the Nixon Wage Price Freeze, which was very disruptive to the entire supply chain
a messy economy which was only 3 years after the great Arab Oil Embargo

Carter messed up on both the foreign relations and economy
but can be given some slack on the economy
that was a horrible decade of adjustment with energy costs quadupling throughout the entire US economy
and adjustment to supply stimulus from no higher prices all through the supply chain
