Add in a shitty economy, scandals in his administration and his whining about malaise (effectively blaming the American people for his own failures) and there's little doubt that Carter is the worst.



oh, so when you compare Bush to Carter you don't count shooting wars that go against international opinion and cause hundreds of thousands of deaths based on either on lies or faulty intelligence? you don't see that as being worth counting?
the Iraq debacle alone counts him as the worst. It's like saying "other than the double murder, OJ is a pretty friendly guy."


Bow ties are coool.
