As much as I despise Clinton, gotta admit: Carter was WORSE.
I agree, but I don't think we've gotten the bill for the Clinton years, yet.....
LBJ was even worse.
Clinton's errors seem mostly due to inattention and a focus on his own political fortunes. Carter seems to have done his stupid, dangerous crap on purpose.
Yeah. It would have been much better if Carter would have done some lusting in the oval Office instead of just in his heart.
Clinton was an idiot, but he was a self-serving idiot and the damage he caused was relatively minor. Carter is an idiot, but he's a messianic idiot who thinks he can remake the world into sweetness and light. That makes him far more dangerous than Clinton.
The only difference was that Carter had a Democrat Congress.
