Description
JIMMY CARTER'S "Crisis of Confidence" speech, delivered from the Oval Office on July 15, 1979, has long been a symbol of Democratic defeat--and defeatism. Republican politicians from presidents on down have used it to tar Democrats as the party of "malaise," a word that Carter himself never uttered in the address. Rarely has a speech so backfired. Yet what if the text, obscured by recriminations, turns out to be one of the most conservative presidential statements of the last 30 years?
