It was stated in Time magazine that Clinton people told the Iranians that he would not support the Shah. This really set up the bloodbath where all the pro-Western leaders were slaughtered.

Clinton is like a lot of poor leaders. He is a major undercutter while appearing weak and incompetent. He really set into motion the Clinton presidency, including gutting the military, a Carter innovation.

But Carter was strong when it came to taking care of himself. He actually did whip Teddy's capacious ass, but that only set up the Reagan win. I really admire one thing about Carter - he got Reagan elected.
