A good President has to be able to work with the House and Senate.
Which he completely failed to do, despite Majority 'D' in both.
He was a good man, but terrible president
Obviously, I am not going to pretend that Carter got along well with Democratic leadership in Congress. We know he did not. But to say he "completely failed" to work with the House and Senate is also in bad faith. Of all our presidents between Truman and Obama, Carter ranked second for gaining legislative support for his policy proposals. He passed some really extensive pieces of legislation -- including the deregulation of the airline industry, the Alaskan Lands Act, the energy policy measures that created the Dept. of Energy, mental health legislation that could have been truly transformative had Reagan not repealed it, superfund legislation, and the Panama Canal Treaties (which simply did not have the votes until Carter picked up the issue).
So, again, let's appreciate the nuance of our history. Carter had plenty of disagreements with Tip O'Neill, Dan Rostenkowski, Teddy Kennedy, and others. But to say he completely failed to work with Congress seems a lazy take on the fact that he was unwilling to compromise on healthcare legislation as opposed to an accurate assessment of his actual legislative record.
