  • Jimmy Carter's presidency saw peace treaties, the creation of 8 million new jobs, increased defense spending and the creation of the Department of Energy. But economic crisis plagued his administration.

The article from MSN titled "The Ups and Downs of the Jimmy Carter Presidency" provides an overview of Jimmy Carter's time in office from 1977 to 1981. It highlights his achievements such as the Camp David Accords, which facilitated peace between Egypt and Israel, and his focus on human rights in foreign policy. Carter also deregulated several industries, including airlines and trucking, which had long-term economic impacts. However, his presidency was marred by significant challenges including the Iran hostage crisis, which severely damaged his image and effectiveness, soaring inflation, and energy crises. His administration struggled with economic stagnation, high unemployment, and the public's perception of his leadership, especially after his "malaise" speech where he seemed to blame the American people for a crisis of confidence. Despite these setbacks, Carter's post-presidency has been marked by extensive humanitarian work, earning him widespread respect and admiration.
