Is not that a little (how bout a whole bunch!) like the kettle calling the pot black?? 
Jimmy Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During Carter's presidency the United States was beset by stagflation, suffered massive fuel shortages, and struggled through several major crises including the invasion of the American Embassy in Tehran, the subsequent holding of embassy personnel as hostages by Islamic Radicals, and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. His administration also created two cabinet-level departments: the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. He established a national energy policy,[1] removed price controls from domestic petroleum production,[2] but was unable to make America less reliant on foreign oil sources. He introduced a staggered increase in the payroll tax in a failed attempt to bolster the Social Security. In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties and the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT). Carter advocated a policy that held other countries to the highest moral standard possible, a standard by which, he believed, Americans would want themselves to be judged.[3] The final year of his term was dominated by the Iran hostage crisis, during which the United States struggled to rescue diplomats and American citizens held hostage in Tehran. By 1980, Carter was so unpopular that he was challenged by Ted Kennedy for the Democratic Party nomination in 1980. Carter eventually received the nomination but lost the election, in a landslide, to Republican Ronald Reagan.
Oh and interest rates were at 22%. Yep Carter was good for the country   What a jackass he is
