I nominate James Buchanan for that dishonor. The country literally split in two on his watch.
You're right that Jimmy Carter was one of our worst Presidents, though. People who blame the Iranian Hostage Crisis on prior American-Iranian history are missing the point: the important part in terms of rating Carter was not the deep cause of the conflict, but rather how Carter handled it -- which was to freeze like a deer in the headlights. One should take it for granted that a Great Power will have enemies and that enemies will try to hurt that Power: the measure of a leader is how he repels or retaliates against such attacks. Other Presidents dealt with worse threats far more successfully.
Also right about the whitewash. Though I don't know how many people it really fools.
