It's also why I think Jimmy Carter was the worst president of my lifetime.

Carter is hardly the worst president the US ever had.
For starters he did lots of good things

1) For the envirnomment
2) Brokered peace in the mideast
3) Brought back honesty and integrity to the whitehouse

People blame him for inflation. That is absurd.
It is like giving Clinton credit for the boom.
Carter came along at the peak of the K-Cycle summer inflation.
Clinton came along during K-cycle Autumn with an interenet boom to boot. Anyone would have succeeded during those years.

The worst president ever has to be Bush who has succeeded wasting 400 billion dollars and thousands of lives over a blatant treasonous lie. Second up would have to be Johnson wo also steered our country into a stupid war that should never have been fought. There you have it (one idiot warmonger on the right and one on the left). Some of the huge problems we face today (like social security) have their roots in FDR. One can easily make a case that he lies at least somewhere near the top of the list. Some people even think he purposely allowed Pearl Harbor to be bombed. I do not know enough to speculate on that but I do know we are suffering still from actions he did.

Carter certainly was not a great president but he sure was not a horrid one and possibly he was not even a bad one. Perhaps he was fair to poor and we sure had lots of those.
