Carter planted plenty of the legal seeds that Clinton expanded on which helped create the housing bubble, just for starters. Fortunately he was limited to only 4 years, because he had done so much damage in that short period of time, otherwise, his damage would have been even greater. Beyond his Presidency he continued to be a source & force of evil coupled with incompetence.

He unequivocally deserves the 2nd spot.

I couldn't disagree more.

The Shah of Iran was the most loyal ally America ever had in the Middle East with the possible exception of Israel. Carter turned his back on the Shah and allowed Khomeini and the Islamofascists to take over Iran. This was the start of Hezbollah and all of the other anti-American jihadist groups.

When Ambassador William Sullivan sent Carter the "Thinking the Unthinkable" telegram in early November, 1978, a chain of events was set in motion where the United States systematically betrayed the Shah and paved the way for Khomeini to take power. We are still paying the price for this today.

Carter is responsible for Iran!

Iran seems pretty permanent to me at this stage but who knows maybe things will turn there someday too.

"carter didn’t do any permanant damage."

You don't consider Iran hostages and turnover of Iran from friendly Shah to fanatic Imams damage?

Carter gave away Panama Canal in spite of Panamanians not wanting him to. Now redChina is on our southern doorstep, running the canal.

Carter never met a dictator he couldn't like (except those friendly to the US)or a dictator's wife he couldn't give a toothy grin and a compliment.

Carter handed Iran to terrorists by backing Khomeini rather than the Shah. We are still fighting them.

He was awful, very destructive.

Oh, really? Arming the Taliban?

[thorvaldr]

“carter didn’t do any permanant damage.”

I don’t care if it was permanent. I liver through that crap, it sucked, he gets on the list.

Besides he’s responsible for Iran being a problem and at least partially responsible for the current situation in Israel.

[Radix]

Carter surrendered the Panama Canal, allowed the overthrow of the
Shah bringing forth the terror nation in Iran, ushered in high interest rates, 2nd oil embargo, severed relations with Taiwan, and embarrassed the nation in countless ways.

That is just off the top of my head in less than 60 seconds.

[a fool in paradise]

Carter is STILL stoking the fires of Islamonazi terrorism and imperialism.
