Not sure where you got that from. He had to deal with the rise of a very expansionist Likud Party in Israel, which thought they could just invade any country in the Middle East and we’d support their reckless behavior no matter what. Despite his differences with Begin, he was still able to work with him to negotiate a peace settlement with Egypt and Anwar Sadat. Some people might even say those accords were very partial to Israel, so much so that it cost Egypt the respect of other Arab nations and cost Sadat his life.

You absolute moronic idiot. Every piece of land that Israel gained after the UN partition of 1947 was the result of winning a defensive, existential war - with most of the "spoils" coming from the Six Day War (Judea and Samaria, Golan, Gaza, and east Jerusalem). The oil-producing Sinai was gained during the Yom Kippur War, but remember they eventually gave it back. And look what leaving Gaza did for them.

You probably already knew this but couldn't resist the opportunity to spew more anti-Israel propaganda - just like long-time anti-Semite Mr. Jimmy Carter himself.

terrible president. luckily obama and biden passed him up

He deregulated airlines. He deregulated trucking. He deregulated micro brewing. He finally appointed Paul Volcker.

He also submitted increased defense spending in his final two budget proposals to Congress (including authorization of development of the B2 stealth bomber), and he tried to work out a tax cut with the Democratically controlled Congress (nothing as big as what Reagan got accomplished, but he did try to push for some level of tax relief).

In all honesty, he was the probably to the right of even Bill Clinton as a Democrat. He was elected as a pro-business and government reform candidate in Georgia and had some success.

The problem is that he could not bend the will of the Democrats in Congress to get anything accomplished that would have benefitted the American people quicker.

But he did set in motion business deregulation, increased defense spending, and stricter Federal Reserve policy (the last of which cost him dearly because he knew the only way out was for the economy to take some bad tasting medicine (higher interest rates) which made home buyers angry, even though inflation actually started with Nixon).

Didn't he give away the Panama Canal?

I guess the buck always stop with the actual guy who put his signature on the treaty, but it effectively implemented negotiations Nixon-Kissinger had already worked out 5 years before.

His lusted in his heart…
