Jimmy Carter…double digit inflation, interest rates, unemployment!
America was (correctly) perceived as having a weak leader that appeased rather than confronted dictators and despots…
And the Panama Cannel…let’s no even go their!
All tolled, his was the most failed American presidency in the countries history…
Little wonder those in the world that wish America ill Cheered Jimmy Carter…The Best man on their team!

He is the only President in Modern times to request that his whole cabinet turn in their resignations. Indecisive would be the main word I would use to describe him.

The USA lost around 58,000 + troops
North Vietnam lost around 1,000,000 + troops
The USA killed way more of the enemy therefore, that is a "win".

I find it sad that you define winning by how many die. I guess a good old nuking of an unarmed country would be a major victory in your book.

Sounds pretty decisive to me! Dude obviously knew what was going on behind his back.

He is a good man who would have served 2 terms if his hostage rescue
mission didn't crash and burn in the desert. (IMO) -cwm

Uhhhh in a word NO. You wait three years into your four year term to decide that you want to basically fire your cabinet, all of whom you personally selected as the most qualified for the positions.
