Leadership
Jimmy Carter did nothing that indisputably bad. There was a hostage situation in Iran and he authorized a rescue mission that failed. His political enemies said that a good president would probably have seen a way to keep the hostages from ever being taken and once they were taken would have used effective measures to get them out. They claimed that the hostage situation was just one more indication that Carter was weak and ineffective in dealing with unfriendly foreign governments.
