The reaction to the "Malaise" speech 
is one of the earliest things I remember from the news (I'm a Gen-Xer). For whatever reason, even then it seemed like common sense to me, and I couldn't (and still don't) understand the attacks on Carter regarding that speech. In recent years, the "Crisis of Confidence" address has been rehabilitated, so to speak, and it is now seen by many historians as a prophetic speech that went unheeded.
