The primary difference between Bush and Carter is that Carter's downward numbers came from crises initiated by other factions and his own honesty about bad news and conservation; Bush's downward numbers come from crises that he himself initiated and his outright lies about bad news and conservation. Among other things.

I won't even get into Carter's legacy as a philanthropist, philosopher, and generally good guy. He might not have worked out as a president, but he's a human being worth respecting.

And that is not something I would credit Shrub with on his best day.

What JolieBlanc said...Carter has done more with less than anybody.  If I believed in the afterlife that guy would be sitting at the right hand of God.

I'd be hesitant to propose Carter for sainthood, given that his more recent comments look designed to downplay the difference between his own energy policy and those of later administrations. Admittedly this is five years out of date, and I doubt he'd still be describing price fluctuations as "cyclical" today.
