That would be the equivalent of Roosevelt taking credit for the 1980's boom. "Reagan did that? Ha! It was my New Deal that made it possible."
It was Carter who forged one of the only lasting Middle East peace accords in the 20th century.
I might give him partial credit for anything in the next 10 years, if someone can point to a link, but if peace breaks out in the next 50 years it will probably have more to do with the next 6-12 US Presidents.
