I'll start with some of his greater successes:
He lost to Ronald Reagan, one of our greatest presidents in a landslide, only receiving 9% of the electoral vote.
Iranian fundamentalist Muslims took 66 American diplomats hostage and held them for 444 days, while Carter sat around twiddling his thumbs.
Supported dictators around the world and often provided them with arms and advisors. Luminaries as Fernando Marcos, Pakistani General Zia al Huq, Saudi King Faud count in this group.
When Carter took office, inflation was around 5.4% and interest rates were around 8%. A couple years later, inflation was around 12% and interest rates were over 20%.
Well, at least he won a Nobel Peace Prize.
