From Mona Charen at NRO:

Axel­rod tried to be sooth­ing. “There are mes­sages here. We hear those mes­sages, but there is a ten­dency in this town . . . to overblow things. . . . And I don’t think it’s about that one par­tic­u­lar issue. I think there’s a gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent about the econ­omy and there’s a gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent about this town. That’s why we were elected. We are com­mit­ted to doing some­thing about it.”

A gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent… and … a gen­eral sense of dis­con­tent.

From the Med­i­cine Net:

Malaise: A vague feel­ing of dis­com­fort, one that can­not be pinned down but is often sensed as just not right.
Malaise comes straight from the Frency who com­pounded it from mal (bad or ill ) + aise (ease) = ill at ease.
Hmmm.
  1. A gen­eral sense of discontent
  2. A vague feel­ing of discomfort
I don’t often go in for prophecy, but I am going to offer this one (cue the pipe organ):
Pres­i­dent Oba­maaaa.  Pres­i­dent Obamaaaaa.

    Axel­rod for­got about a gen­eral feel­ing of dis­con­tent about Axel­rod. And the same goes for the Big 0 too.

      They keep think­ing their prob­lem is that they are not get­ting their mes­sage out. I sym­pa­thize with their prob­lem. I think the vot­ers sent an unmis­tak­able mes­sage, post­marked Mass­a­chu­setts, on Tues­day and nobody in the White house or in Con­gress with the excep­tion of Bar­ney Frank seems to have heard it.
