Carter was a businessman. His problems had nothing to do with that fact.
No gas lines, no rampant inflation caused by Nixon, no insularity by DC insiders and he's not a 1 term president.
He came when the car was about to go over the cliff. He got punished by the voters for things beyond control of any POTUS. But, being a successful peanut producer wasn't the issue with policy.
The problem here is that this guy was crappy at business, as well as nearly everything else, except self-promotion.
