I don't know, Jimmy Carter did pretty good for himself, and for the world. I'll concede his domestic economic policy was pretty wretched, but you can't ignore the positive impact he's had.
When historians look back at previous presidents, 20 years from now, after China quits subsidizing the country's debt load and the dollar collapses, Carter > Nixon > GWB.
Beej.
Jimmy Carter by any measure was by far the worst president in history and his legacy gets worse and worse the farther away we get from his administration. I'm telling you this because I voted for him
twice, and at this point 30 years later, I can look at history and shamefullly admit I've never been more wrong on a vote.
The economic woes of his time in office are well established, and his foreign policy legacy is still coming home to roost. His policies directly lead to the takover of Iran by the Ayotollah, the invasion of Afganistan by the Soviets and the creation of the Taliban.
His one foreign policy accomplishment, the peace accord between Israel and Egypt, was enabled by Carter bribing Israel by committing billions of dollars every year to Israel
forever, while setting up the framework for the PA and Arafat's infatada.
He hobnobs with dictators such as Castro and Chavez, certifying dubious elections, and gave away the Panama Canal.
IN 1980 many said that history would show Carter's presidency was not as bad as people at the time said, but history has proven that view wrong, wrong, wrong.
GTL,
used to think Beej was a pretty sharp feller....
