Carter pretty much did nothing. He was a placeholder. The only good thing he did was an emphasis on human rights in foreign policy, everything else was just damage control.

Clinton destroyed financial regulation, ended (excuse me, "reformed") welfare, signed NAFTA, enshrined bigotry into law in the form of DADT and DOMA. The only thing that kept him from being in the same league as Bush II in rightward tilt was his tax and economic policies and that he didn't go start unnecessary wars.

We haven't had a progressive President since LBJ and he had his own baggage. Before that we have to go back to Roosevelt and before that the other Roosevelt (or maybe Wilson).
