If the old Soviet Union secretly succeeded in getting one of their moles all the way into the Presidency, the most likely suspect is noneother than Jimmy Carter. At the very least he qualifies for the title of 'most useful idiot ever', to Moscow anyway.
Carter stripped America of it's military power without even firing any weapons.
Carter betrayed Taiwan to the Chicoms.
Carter's response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to simply destroy the dreams of American Olympic athletes.
Had Carter been in office another year the Soviets would have invaded Poland.
Carter gladly accepted every drug dealer, rapist and murderer that Castro no longer wanted.
And Carter did all of this while presiding over what was probably the worst economy in American history (any accepted economics model will show that nearly continual recessions, stock market stagnation, skyrocketing unemployment, skyrocketing inflation, stagnant personal income and rising interest rates are conditions that cannot exist simultaneously).
So, in my opinion, Carter was either a complicit accessory to America's enemies or the most incompetent man to ever occupy the White House.

I'm not saying that Carter's presidency was anything but an utter failure, but what do you base your assertion that he was a Soviet mole on? The impeached POS actually did travel to Moscow when vacationing on his Rhodes scholarship, and there was an opportunity for recruitment at that time. But Carter? He is nothing more than a complete ass.
