Malaise II - Hussein's Bugaloo!

Wonder when he'll drag the Misery Index back out?
Uh huh.
This is s-o-o-o-o-o history repeating itself.
I dunno if you're old enough to remember Carter's malaise speech, but it had a great deal to do with his electoral unsuccess a year later.
Of course, this time, the media's more sympathetic to the Magic One, and so this might not get the play the malaise thing did back in 1979--even though it should.
