at least Carter didn't start a new Vietnam, destroy the justice department, purse illegal wiretapping, and generally send this country down the path of Hitler.
don't forget legalizing torture, ripping the bill of rights to shreds (and a good portion of the Constitution), making the country less safe from threats, instituting a (subjectively) massively flawed education bill, encouraging the class gap, destroying america's capital of international good will and good standing not once, but twice, and embarking on a less-cooperative, unilateral approach to international relations. and just sending the country down the path to hell.
Carter didn't send his flunkies to his AG's sickbed in order to try to get him to signoff on an illegal program that greatly expanded the power of the executive for domestic spying which almost lead to mass resignations in Justice. It's pretty sad when your far right wing AG won't even sign off on your shit, but the stuff that Card and Gonzales did at the President's order? Pathetic and disgusting.
Jimmy Carter: not the best president by any mean or measure, but certainly not the worst. that list above is hugely flawed for a number of reasons (some which have been stated), but especially because i'm betting it ranks them not only on what they did as president, but also what events they presided over, avoidable or not, due to prevailing and sometimes unavoidable circumstances, as well as personal fault.
