"Jimmah let the mullahs rule in Iran, gave away the Panama canal, and gave us 18% inflation.
Actually it was only 13% inflation as I recall. This inflation was the predictable result of the Nixon administration's dumping of money into the economy to stimulate the economy, combined with previous laws (Reg Q comes to mind) that capped interest rates that would've otherwise mopped up that excess money.
Carter's real problem is that once his initial ideas didn't work, and once it was obvious that his initial staff wasn't up to the task, he then tried to lead by consensus. In other words, he held his finger up in the wind to figure out which way the winds were going, in order to guide the ship. Clinton did the same thing, but was a good enough politician to get away with it (plus the economy was good).
The timing of this article is interesting -- perhaps the Left is hearing the ghosts of Carter Administrations past in the words of Obama too?

If he wasn’t the worst president ever, why did they award him the Nobel “Peace” Prize? That award is only given to people who are out to stick it to America.

From the article:
"More recently, he's (Carter) taken heat for his blunt portrayal of Israeli policies toward the Palestinians. "

I lived through the Jimmy years, even voted for Ford, (argghh) so I don’t know who this writer is trying to fool; maybe someone born since then who can’t read, knows nothing, and doesn’t care anyway.

If the 18% inflation was Jimmah's fault, then of course it goes that the $5 gallon gasoline, the housing bubble and the Wall Street debacle, including Bernie Madoff's scheme were all Saint Dubya's fault, no?
The economy rolls pretty much on its own and the POTUSi can only help screwing it up, but blaming the 18% inflation on poor Jimmah is going a bit too far, me thinks.
