I hate to burst your bubble because I am no fan of Jimmy Carter, but the unemployment rate was 7.5% (trending down) when he started and it was 7.5% (trending up) when he left. The highest unemployment rate was during Reagan's first term. As Patrick Moynihan used to say, you are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entited to your own facts.

your Present Pesident Idiot is the most failed ever.

If he is not impeached and he and Chaney not locked up, Your Generation will be histories biggest laugh ever.

President Carter was one of the best US presidents of all time.

Stagflation was the results of Keynesian economics, which is where Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford hung their hats. Staglation first started to appear in 1975 when the unemployment rate grew to over 8% and inflation was over 10%. It got worse under Carter, but it was the consensus economic philoshophy that was the problem.

I never saw more amateur historians in my life. Every comment has an incorrect fact or a statement based on emotion. Go America. Idiots. And yeah- I am an AM- UR- RI -KIN.

That's what America likes, stupid presidents. It makes them feel smart.

Interesting. Before Reagan trounced Carter in 1980, Carter was running ads claiming that Reagan "shoots from the hip". Well, Reagan is going down in history as one of our greatest presidents, and Carter, one of the worst. Maybe the "cowboy" reputation isn't such a bad thing... just a thought!
