Why does almost everyone say that Carter was the worst president?

Maybe I'm really, really ignorant but when Carter was president I was newly married. Being of the struggling lower class, my life and family and friend's lives got so much better. My husband was finally able to obtain and keep a job and we were able to acquire a mortgage toward the purchase of a small home instead of renting. We were able to buy some different types of food instead of the usual dry beans, rice and oatmeal. We actually could afford a few more fruits and vegetables and meats to spice our meals up!
Even now Carter is deep into building homes for the needy. It's still hard for me not to believe that he tried his best and still doing so.

People say he was the worst because historians have protected the faux legacy about FDR and collectively hidden the truth.
FDR was a hero in his time and there's a lot of old timers who still think he was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
However, do some actual research and he is the cause of many of the problems the U.S. is now facing. Johnson inflicted his wounds on top of the social programs already in place, now they're responsible for the main drain on the Federal budget, unsustainable and will be belly up before long.
Carter made some ridiculous decisions (getting us involved in the Afghan Soviet war) but he was just a buffoon and didn't have a clue.
FDR & Johnson, KNEW what they were doing to America,... on purpose.
Of course he felt it was necessary because his policies were failing miserably and knew by getting the U.S. involved, the economy would pick up due to the sudden need for warplanes and new Navy vessels. I cannot believe how blind you sheep are, who continue to put him on a pedestal and refuse to acknowledge the amount of blood he is drenched in.
And THAT, is just the tip of the iceberg. He was one corrupt SOB and we are paying dearly for it now.
If you want to discuss some corrupt SOBs, lets begin at the top of the list. Ronnie Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other groups who were headed that direction were given other orders diverting them away.
The messages received in DC that an attack was imminent never made it to Pearl. There is plenty of documentation that shows everything was known well in advance and allowed to happen anyway.
Churchill wrote many memoirs that spoke of FDR's obsession with becoming involved in the war and his close relationship with Stalin.
The ONLY reason he was re-elected 3 times is that most people barely owned a radio and the 'Fireside chats' were the only means of hearing any words directly from him. Very few households even had a television until after the war and most couldn't afford newspapers.
Had the Internet been available then, the American people would have been marching on the WH wondering what the hell was going on.
Half of his New Deal programs were deemed unConstitutional before they were debated in Congress. FDR threatened to stack the Supreme Court with enough Justices to rule in his favor.
That never happened because some items were deleted, nobody ...

That never happened because some items were deleted, nobody wanted a national crisis and compromises were made.
Economists and historians have had time to analyze his programs and have determined they prolonged the Depression by 7 years and unemployment didn't begin to recover until we went to war.
Half a million dead and untold numbers injured, for a 3-1/2 year war that had nothing to do with the U.S. across two oceans at a cost of over $4 Trillion in today's dollars.
High gasoline prices, high interest rates, foreign policy debacle.
However, BHO has managed to usurp Carter's title as the worst.
