Yes, Carter certainly had his problems, but he was also a one term president.
After him, we had 8 full years of the magical Reagan economic machine followed by a 4 year extension of the magical Reagan economic machine courtesy of George Bush.
Yet, when Bush was running for re-election in 1991 the economy was again in terrible shape - and Bush tried to blame it all on Carter. It always amazed me how he tried to convince us that 12 years of Reaganomics proved no match for poor old Jimmy Carter. I never realized what a devious master villain Carter was!!
But then, what choice did Bush have? He certainly couldn't admit the magical Reagan economic machine was a complete failure.
