I think those who say that are doing a great disservice to Slick Willie! And LBJ! And FDR!

I dunno. Unlike Carter, none of those had a 22% prime rate, 14% mortgages, let mullahs take over Iran, and micromanaged a botched Iranian hostage rescue attempt.

I will suggest some credentials of the others to be in the running:

FDR

Armed and basically built the military of the USSR.
Fought WWII in a way most advantageous to Stalin and gave him Eastern Europe at the end.
Initiated the present income tax system.
Started Social security.
Initiated socialists government work programs like the CCC, TVA, REA, etc., which was yet another step down the road to socialism.

LBJ

Continued FDR's programs and expanded on them with Medicare and the rest of his Great Society programs.
Micro mismanaged the Vietnam war and gave in to the leftists demonstrators for political purposes and caused our defeat.

Slick Willie

Gave our military technology, especially missile technology, to China.
Made all patents in the U.S. Patent office available for the Chinese and other rogues to steal.
Destroyed the dignity of the office of President.
Repeatedly broke the law including taking secret FBI files and used them against his political opponents, misused the IRS against his political enemies, took campaign contributions from foreigners and foreign governments, lied under oath to a federal court, and too many more things to list.

To add to Carter's resume he also revealed our stealth technology by publicly "letting slip" that we had airplanes that were invisible to radar before anyone knew it.

It is a tough contest but all the others did as grievous things as Carter.
