Who is the Worse President: Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama?
, I produced a relatively short list of US presidents who earned these three epithets. To be on the list the person must have arrived at the White House far less well-known than the average entering chief executive; said arrival must have come as a surprise to most Americans; and the person must have been booted out of office as quickly as possible by the electorate following a wretched performance that yielded seriously deleterious consequences for the people and the country.I pointed out that exactly which names were on the list was less important than the answers to the following four questions - which I attempted to supply:
Is the third unpleasant feature, i.e., undistinguished, a highly likely consequence of the first two? A large number of the names on the list were VPs who ascended to the presidency upon the death of the incumbent. Was that a sufficient condition for a failed presidency? Between Jimmy Carter and the preceding president on the list, nearly a century passed. Why the long gap? What had changed in America in the 1960s and 1970s that allowed the phenomenon to reappear?The reader is referred to the original article for the answers, the names on my list, and - for the pre-Carter names - the rationale for their appearance. However, perhaps overconfident about the reader's agreement, I took it as virtually self-evident that Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama (who almost certainly will be booted in 2012) belong on the list. My goal here is to correct that oversight and enumerate the reasons why it is legitimate to consider both Carter and Obama to be obscure, unanticipated and undistinguished . Jimmy Carter had a career in the Navy, followed by a time as an entrepreneurial peanut farmer and then a stint in the Georgia State Legislature. He ran for Governor in 1966 and lost in the Democratic primary. Partly as a consequence, the arch-segregationist Lester Maddox became Governor. Maddox's antics helped to prepare the people of Georgia for a more "moderate" candidate and Jimmy succeeded in 1970 to gain the Governor's mansion. He served one term. In all four endeavors (naval officer, peanut farmer, State Legislator, Governor), Jimmy did satisfactorily. But in none of these pursuits did he amass an outstanding record as an innovator, exceptional leader, brilliant strategist or original thinker. Thus when he began his presidential quest in 1975, it was not surprising that he had a national name recognition rating of 2% among US voters. He might not have been the most obscure candidate to eventually reach the Oval Office (a title that I awarded to Chester Arthur in the previous article), but he was certainly in the top five.
