I grew up thinking Jimmy Carter was a terrible president. It’s just one of those things everyone says.

That’s my take as well. With the benefit of a broader view, it is more difficult to see the economy of the Carter era as one created vs one he inherited.
And even in the Middle East, the Iranian revolution was a real coup of evil doers. I think im glad Carter largely kept us out of getting entangled with troops. And Reagan running arms to Iran starting in 1981 has always raised my eyebrows with people who want to credit him for getting hostages released.
