The year he won the election unemployment was higher than when he left office. Even if you go 77-80 it's only a 0.1% increase, a rounding error, and irrelevant when you consider the situation Carter had inherited and had to deal with. The bottom line is there was no huge increase in unemployment to blame Carter for, unlike say Bush almost halving the value of the dollar in eight years. Now that really is significant. Bush will also end his term with unemployment significantly higher than it was under Clinton, not a 0.1% blip.
Rounding error? Is that another way of saying that you were wrong? You said "It went down" and it obviously didn't

Over the time period I chose to reflect Carter's presidency I was right. Being right is something I specialise in. If you pay attention to what happens over the next few years you'll be forced to end up saying to yourself "that English fucker was right!". On politics/geopolitics/economic issues you'll eventually be forced to admit to yourself that I'm always right about everything, and even when I am wrong about something it's a level of wrongness so insignificant to the overarching issue or subject (about which I'm always right) that it in no way affects my overall level of infallibility.
