Dude, for all of Clinton's mediocre to bad presidency, it doesn't even come CLOSE to the disaster that was Carters.

During his time, he managed to lose Iran, Afghanistan, parts of Latin America, and greatly add to the perception that America was weak and powerless in the face of communism. 4 more years of that, and we might not have ever won the cold war. And if you hadn't guessed, we are STILL paying for his mistakes. The middle east (and Venezuela) would be a very different place if he hadn't bungled virtually everything he could bungle.

And that's just foreign policy. That's not counting stagflation, the Department of Education, etc.

Clinton's worst FP disaster was probably Somalia, which, while bad, was really more a symptom of what Carter had left him. It was a mistake, no doubt, but it was compounding a much larger, earlier mistake.

And while I didn't like a lot of what Clinton tried to do domestically, he wasn't that successful in most of his bad policies. He did succeed in NAFTA and Welfare Reform (even if he was browbeat into the 2nd by a Republican Congress). And Cater has...what?
