| To me he was, and this is why.
Foreign policy:
1) The Iran crises. Carter threw the Shah ubder the bus, and is responsible for the transformation of Iran, from a US ally, into an enemy of the US. Subsequently, he is responsible for the Iran, Iraq war, which was a result of the revolution. A million Iranians and Iraq's died because of Carters inaction. The hostage crises was the biggest black eye of his presidency, but one should not forget all the other mifortunate events that occurred from his inaction in the Iran.
2)Carter is also known as a moral men that stood for freedom, equality and justice, but this is not all true either. This is a men that supported a lot of criminial dictators through out his time in office and afterwards as well. The list goes something like this: Robert Mugabe, Ortega, the PLO thug Arafat, and more recantly, Castro, and Chavez.
3)Giving away the Panama Cana. This was an American asset, that almost 30,000 men died while constructing it.
4) Gutting our military to the point where it was in the worst condition in its entire cold war history.
5) Giving pardon to draft dogers of the Vietnam war. This was a disgraceful act by a desgraceful president.
Economy: Presided over the worst economy in the US since the GD.
1)from 1976-1980 inflation was any where from 7 to 13% and unemployment 6-7%.
2) Job loss was the worst since the GD.
3) worst energy crises OF THE 20th century.
Conclusion: A peanut farmer, that should of stayed in his farm. This was a president that could not do any thing right, and yet the liberal left hold this incompetent ex-president up so high, that one might think he was Washington or Lincoln.
