Jimmy Carter Malaise Speech vs. Reagan Debate Comments

In 1979, Jimmy Carter gave what came to be called his Crisis of Confidence speech (or, his Malaise Speech).  Seems like Carter is speaking from his heart here: this is what he really thinks and feels.

That does this speech tell you about America in 1979?  What problems is the country facing?  Does Carter seem to have a clear solution to those problems?  If so, what is it?

This speech Carter gave Carter a slight boost in his poll numbers in 1979, but, in the 1980 presidential debates Ronald Reagan turned the themes of the speech to his advantage.  Listen to some of Reagan's debate comments.  What do you see in Reagan's presentation that helps explain his ability to convince Americans to move in a different direction than Carter advocated?
