    1. I had to look it up... I was a little young to remember it. Well, probably old enough to remember, but not old enough to be interested in a speech of any sort.

      According to the infallible Wikipedia, he never actually said the word, but the media labeled it the "Malaise Speech."

      Thanks for the comment - I learned something I would not have come across otherwise.
