Carter was an interesting one because he was undoubtedly both honest and intelligent. He probably had the highest personal integrity of any POTUS during my lifetime. He was also totally, woefully ineffective as chief executive. Smart and honest he was, but he lacked the necessary strength of spirit to stand up to difficult problems--a highly effective follower or adviser, but not a leader, and unsuited to the job.
That being said I rate Carter higher than "corrupt bargain" Ford. Ford deserved to be hanged.

I don't feel we've had a truly good POTUS since Eisenhower, and that was before I was born. Looking at history it's tempting to draw a parallel to the long string of mediocre-to-bad presidents the U.S. suffered through during the lead up to the civil war.
