In this exclusive 10-part series, IBD takes a hard look at Jimmy Carters administration and compares it to that of George W. Bush, which Carter has called the worst ever.
Installments will cover the economy, foreign policy, human rights, dealing with dictators, fighting Communism and the Democratic leadership in general during times of war.
Part One Look Who's Talking
Leadership: So Jimmy Carter calls the Bush administration "the worst in history." This from the man who wrecked the world's greatest economy and made a nuclear Iran and North Korea possible.
Part Two 'Malaise' Maestro
Leadership: When it comes to economic performance, there's no contest: Apart from the early years of the Depression, Jimmy Carter's brief tenure as president was the worst in the 20th century.
Part Three Carter Planted Seeds Of Al-Qaida
Leadership: After being told over and over by President Jimmy Carter that America's ability to influence world events was "very limited," the Soviet Union believed him and invaded Afghanistan. And al-Qaida was born.
Part Four
Leadership: In the name of human rights, Jimmy Carter gave rise to one of the worst rights violators in history the Ayatollah Khomeini. And now Khomeini's successor is preparing for nuclear war with Israel and the West.
Depends how you define “worst.” If “worst” is defined as “did most damage to the republic” then the worst president is FDR, without a doubt.
LOL
