One of them is remembered as the worst president ever.
The other is remembered for projecting a budget surplus based on 10 more years of continued revenue from a dot.com economy. (and fucking fat interns)

First off, one of the reasons Carter is remembered so poorly is because he couldn't resolve the hostage situation, and we later found out that GB 1 and Ronald Reagan were in constant communication with them. Funny how the hostages got released as soon as he was sworn in office isn't it? We all know by now that the Mullahs were shaking in their boots and must have been intimidated by Reagan. That's why they let the hostages go right? Because they're so easily intimidated?
It's no surprise that dems have been losing since the repubs figured out how easy it was to get votes by appealing to prejudice and fear rather than enlightened self-interest. Politicians are supposed to be leaders and thinkers. Statesmen. When you toss out any notion of ethics and fair play, as the republicans have done, it becomes much easier to brainwash a nation.
