Malaise

35 years ago today the Nation saw a display of leadership not equaled until the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave: Jimmy Carter's "Malaise" speech.  It contained such electrifying ideas as this:
I'm asking you for your good and for your nation's security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel
What a sad sack.

    Just for that I'm going to get the Camaro out and generate some noise and CO2...and burned rubber...and unburnt hydrocarbons... and oxides of Nitrogen..... and drip oil on the road...I may even smoke a cigar at the same time for extra CarbonMonoxide.

    Not a sad sack, just incompetent.
    He's only the second worst president evah now though. So, he's got that going for him.
