There are a few things I remember about the Carter era, and they're all bad:

1. High Interest Rates

2. Gas lines

3. Iranians capturing our embassy personnel in Teheran

and next, possibly the worst of them all,

4. DISCO!!!!

He was responsible for the term: "Stagflation." And he breathed new life into the term: "The misery index."

"4. DISCO!!!!"

Um...that's Bush's fault

Remember Jimmy walking on the White House roof in his sweater looking for the furnace ?

What a tool.

What about Jimmuh Carter trying to surrender to the Soviets???

Don't forget

5. The 55 mph speed limit
6. Joan Claybrook of the NHTSA and crappy cars, 85 mph speedos, underpowered engines
7. Polyester clothes especially leisure suits
8. Stagflation

4. DISCO!!!!

I like DISCO and never attributed it to Carter.
