I believe Carter was pretty decent comparatively speaking, which is why he lost the second time around. Could be wrong because I didn't really understand shit back then.

He didn’t understand how to navigate the DC political machine. A lot of factors like the oil shortages and the hostage crisis were largely out of his control, but his inability to get his agenda through congress was definitely his problem.

Carter wasn't a great president, but he was probably one of the best people to ever be president.
