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.
To: J. Semper Paratus
thanks. CA is a good place for him.

Uh oh. Music. Now I am really going to bawl.Same here. I'm fine until the music starts.
To: Southern Federalist
Both of my grandmothers were the same way. That generation had been through so much, carried such burdens, and handled their problems internally and kept their own counsel.
I rather wish we could return to those days vs. the new Jerry Springer sort of primal screams everyone seems to be having these days.

She's grieving, all right, but she also knows that this is her last duty to the nation as a First Lady, and she's seeing it through. And America thanks her for her service to our country. She is beauty and dignity and class and graciousness. My heart breaks every time they do a closeup on her.
To: Conservababe
I don't believe for one minute that Nance Reagan is sedated.
She is the epitome of class and taste. Look at her! She's gorgeous. It breaks my heart thinking of the love between them.
To: LizardQueen
Dang blurry screen. I thought it was just my office PC. I don't think I am going to be able to handle Friday.
