Considering Jimmy inheritied inflation from ford, and Reagon actively
prevented resolution of the Tehran hostage crisis, what did Jimmy do
that was so bad?

He wasn't much of a leader, even his own party's members of Congress ignored
him for much of his time in office. Perception counts, Carter just didn't
seem to be out in front much, Obama has the same problem IMO.

On the other hand Carter and his SecState pretty much engineered the end of
the Soviet Union by suckering the Soviets into invading Afghanistan, and the
Camp David peace treaty was no small thing either.
