"And what was the problem with Peanut Jim? (Besides the fact that you don't like him)"
I personally like Jimmy Carter. I worked along side Jimmy Carter in Homestead, Florida, in 1994, on a Habitat for Humanity project. Pleasant enough person.
However, his policies caused an 18% inflation, 22% interest rate and about 20% unemployment rate.
As a struggling newly-wed and new home-owner during his Presidency, I was savagely and cruelly affected by his policies (except fot the fact that in spite of him, I managed to stay emplyed). And let us not forget that his weak-kneed foreign policy gave rise to the Ayatollah in Iran which contines to present day. His international reputation was properly put in place when the Iranian thugs released the hostages as soon as Reagan was inagurated, after thumbing their noses at the peanut farmer for 444 days. Also, he always has been and always will be an anti-Semite and sworn enemy of the only democracy and American ally in the middle east, Israel. It is only recently that his bleeding-heart soul-mates of present day try to give this pathetic little hammer-swinger a better and higher stage in history than he deserves.
GW Bush the worst? Carter and Obama - not to mention the father of 45 years of cold war, FDR - will get their proper day of reckoning.
