The Volcker Shock, his mishandling of Iran and Afghanistan, and his heavy reliance on privatization as a means of devolving federal powers to the states all paled beside what Reagan eventually put us through. But they moved us in a similar direction.

Carter was the last President to win the votes of the segregationist south. Perhaps his brand of moderate centrism was the best the Dems could field against Ford. But I would not have called him a particular good President. A lot of what he said and did upon leaving office contradicted what he said and did while in office. Similar to LBJ in that regard.
