Had we, the USA in cahoots with the British, NOT overthrown the duly democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953 and instead built partnerships with the middle east based on the "rules based order" that Biden speaks of, there would have been no "oil crisis" in the early 70's PRIOR to Carter's election.

Of course, there WAS a crisis in 1979 when the brutal dictator the Shah of Iran fled to the United States and the USA pissed off millions of Iranians who wanted to hang the Shah because he murdered thousands of their relatives while "in power". If I had been Iranian I would have been PO'd too.
Was that Carter's fault? Perhaps. But, honestly, it was really some low life Republicans in the Eisenhower government that planned coup without Eisenhower even knowing about it.
Carter and the "oil crisis" did not overlap in time as your lie would indicate.
As for Obama, I completely agree, Obama went wild with debt after eight years of deregulation by Bush II resulted in a complete catastrophe in banking and collapse of the economy in the USA; on the level of a Calvin Coolidge (also a Republican) disaster.
Me? I would have left the Republican's collapsed economy completely ALONE to take 20 years to rebuild so people would REMEMBER what Republicans do when they are in power. Like, for example, stupid deregulation of derivatives which became mortgage back securities (legalized) under Bush II in 2001.
Yes, there was also an earlier oil crisis under Nixon.
My point was that the economy was NOT healthy under Carter.
Regarding Mossadegh, etc., Carter's Attorney General Ramsey Clark wrote that U.S. policy toward Iran and Iraq was to support the opposition, overthrow the government, support the new opposition, overthrow the new government, etc. See Chapter 1 of "The Fire This Time":
