Most people who know history would give Warren Harding the honor of being the worst o the 20th century.
Carter was a Washington outsider and was not terribly effective, but he was honest and sincere and had good intentions.
(unlike Richard Nixon, who was more effective than Carter, but had serious flaws otherwise.)Jimmy Carter did much damage to the us by his weakness in the Iran situation as well as his poor job with the economy. His actions post president were almost treasoness

∙ 13y agoIt's debatable whether or not he was a bad president, or simply was not an inhumanly excellent president during a bad time. (Herbert Hoover, for example, gets a bum rap from a variety of things that he arguably had nothing whatsoever to do with and could not possibly have prevented).
There are a variety of factors that didn't help: For example, one argument is that he was too non-interventionist on getting the Iranian hostages freed (and that his perceived "weakness" and pacifism may have contributed to their capture in the first place), and too interventionist when it came to the economy, when unemployment rose to 11% and long lines at the gas station were a common sight. These two factors in particular were at least partially responsible for his loss to Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election.
Some, however, note that in foreign policy he hosted relatively effective peace talks between Egypt and Israel at Camp David. He has also been very active as an advocate for peace and human rights since leaving office. Many people consider his post-presidency to have been better than his actual presidency.
