That was a terrible time. In fact, from then until about 1980 was a terrible time.

November, 1992 to December, 2000 wasn't too great either (except for the Republican mid-term landslide in '94).

Well, I am comforted by the fact that the horrrible people are gone from the White House.

I can't think of a worse time in our history than the Carter years, though. Clinton was worse in some ways, but for all-around, concentrated incompetence, Carter holds the prize.
