Let me guess 18 % interest rates, gas shortages and oh yeh the hostage crisis? Sadly all these issues would be out of control of the pope let alone a the president!
That's all debateable but the fact of the matter is those things DID occur. Carter came out looking pretty good because of his apparent decency. But outside of those three things you mentioned, just what accomplishments will James Earl Carter be remembered for? Presidents are judged by what they DO and not just what happens while they are in office.
