Good article. Carter was a total disaster both at home and internationally. I've never figured out whether he is evil or incredibly stupid. I lean toward him being stupid.
I lean towards him being evil.
Even the Simpson's think ill of Carter. Remember when Marge was in charge of raising cash for a statue in the park and all they could afford was Carter? At the unveiling you heard "Jimmy Carter is history's worst monster!"
You can be evil and stupid. For one to believe the way Carter did -- that Communism is a superior ideology requires a certain stupidity.
