1979 – U.S. President Jimmy Carter gives his "malaise speech".


Forty years ago, Jimmy Carter’s malignant ‘malaise’ speech


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Jimmy_Carter#Malaise_speech


"I want to talk to you right now about a fundamental threat to American democracy... I do not refer to the outward strength of America, a nation that is at peace tonight everywhere in the world, with unmatched economic power and military might. The threat is nearly invisible in ordinary ways. It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit of our national will. We can see this crisis in the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives and in the loss of a unity of purpose for our nation...

Jimmy Carter


Most honest president in history but history has not rated him very highly.
