If you were truly paying attention, I gave props to Reagan as well. I think Obama, like Reagan, is a great speaker. I think both posses the ability to not just read a speech, but to deliver it. Its hard for me to quantify the difference, but I think a lot of people can understand my meaning.
A good Reagan example is the address to the nation on the eve of the Challenger disaster. To this day when ever I hear that speech, or snippets of it, I tear up. He delivered that speech, he did not read it. On Sun, Jul 25, 2010 at 9:32 PM, Sam <[email protected]> wrote: > > I do. Folks on this list are claiming Reagan was an idiot who could > read aloud.
