Malaise was Jimmy Carter's term. He first used it, he first accused the nation of being it. It was after his "deep think" retreat at camp david. IOW carter blamed the people for the Malase and said the people were the root cause of it.

Reagan came in and reminded us we can do. Can do better, and accomplish all we aspire, we ARE a force of good in the world. He then lead by example.

Actually, Carter never used the term. The press termed his downer dronings as his "malaise speech."

Some freepers think the speaker even using the word malaise was partisan. I say horse hockey and huooey.

My 11 month old chose this exact moment to wave "bye-bye" for the first time--at Reagan's flag-draped casket.

Now I'm bawling.
