"I don't know that Jimmy was the worst President of modern times. LBJ deserves some serious consideration. And Nixon set back the conservative cause considerably by running right and governing left. But certainly, he is a major contender for the "honor".

Valid points, all. But I think the ramifications of Carter's insane foreign policy have yet to be fully understood. In fact, I think it will take the next 50 years to fully appreciate just how awful the man was as Pres.

Well, you won't get any argument from me about that. Jimmy gets worse, every time you look at him. I used to like him, not as a President, but as a man. He has since totally destroyed that for me.

Then we also have FDR, who has bequeathed us so many of our social problems.

A JFK. It's possible he did so little harm because he had so little time. Jimmy, though, I have to admit, was very special.
