Nicer and more sincere than Biden but unfortunately also a poor President. Remember stagflation.

Level 2
Unlike Biden, he refused to pardon a family member who was influence peddling.
Handled the whole incident with class and transparency. Too bad Sleepy didn't take the lesson.

Carter Inherited Stagflation from Nixon...JC brought in Paul Volcker to stamp it out with necessary
high interest rates. Look it up.

A hugely underrated President.
His accomplishments as a former President are historic.
Mostly, President Carter embodied the character and decency of what it means to be an American.

Level 2
Decent man but other than Camp David Accords by what measure underrated? RIP Lieutenant.
Gas lines, 14+% inflation, 17% interest rates, Operation Eagle Claw, abandonment of Panama Canal
No more calls to Holly for kitchen clean-up. RIP old faithful companion.-
Level 3
Just to amplify what Conor's link explains, JC brought in Paul Volcker to tackle Inflation...a wise
choice, which required the use of high interest rates to bring it down; not unlike what we recently experienced (tough medicine, but it works)...
And President Carter also had the wisdom to make sure that Judge Harold Greene took over the AT&T Breakup Case...thus ushering in the phenomenal explosion of wireless phone usage we enjoy today.
Oh, and the "Gas Lines" started in 1973...we were both there when it happened :-)
