You are correct on at least one account:

Carter only got unemployment up to 7.6% his first year. Obama has it up to nearly 10%. It was actually higher when Carter was inaugurated than when Obama was.


Year Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Annual
1977 7.5 7.6 7.4 7.2 7.0 7.2 6.9 7.0 6.8 6.8 6.8 6.4
2009 7.6 8.1 8.5 8.9 9.4 9.5 9.4 9.7 9.8


On foreign affairs Carter was a tough act to follow. As miserable as Obama has been he has yet to trump unleashing a religious fanatic Iran on the world.
