Never started a war or fired a shot in anger (the only president, I think, in 100 years to do that) but was unlucky enough to be hit with inflation at the wrong time and an oil crisis started in the Middle East that slack-jawed midwesterners blamed on Jimmy. When the Reagan team went to Iran and treasonous persuaded them not to release hostages until Reagan was elected/inaugurated, that sealed his fate on his second term. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/show/expert-analyzes-new-account-of-gop-deal-that-used-iran-hostage-crisis-for-gain 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe from Wyo Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Probably the best thing Carter did (that he didn’t get the benefit of in his term) was appointing Paul Volcker as the head of the Fed as he saved the economy from stagflation and set the stage for the 1980s and 1990s economic boom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
