Jimmy Carter, that's what.  Ever heard of malaise and stagflation?
You do realize that both those things would happen regardless of who was President 1977-1981?

Perceptions of culpability can be very wrong.

Carter probably lost because of the Iranian takeover of the US embassy in Teheran. Would that have happened had Gerald Ford been re-elected? Who knows?

The Shah was going down, whoever was President of the United States.
