Were you alive in the late 70s? Carter gave Iran to the Mullahs, who are now on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons. His economic numbers were the worst since the Depression, and we were being humiliated in the Iranian hostage crisis.
The man was spineless.
Clinton was a terrible man, but his presidency was in no way worse than Carter's.
Carter and LBJ are tied for the worst Presidents in my lifetime, and that goes back to vaguely remembering JFK.
LBJ was the first president to fight a "sensitive" war (Vietnam), where our guys weren't allowed to go all-out to beat the N. Viets, allowing the far-left and the MSM to take control of the war debate. He also expanded the welfare state by leaps and bounds, and began the inflationary period that only Ronald Reagan and Paul Volcker ended.
Carter can be fairly seen as the father of Islamic terorrism, as he was the first to give it a homeland of its own (Iran), knowing full well what the Ayatollah Khomeni was all about. He also presided over 13% inflation (in 1980), a 21% prime interest rate, 16% mortgages, and a feeling that we would never again be what we once were, both economically and as world leaders.
He was so bad that even the MSM, which had a near ironclad control over news in 1980, couldn't save him from the hated (by MSM) Ronald Reagan.
