Greatest Presidential speech ever?

Dwight D. Eisenhower exit speech on Jan.17,1961. Warning us of the military industrial complex.

I don't know if it was the best or not. But I think it was a VERY important one that too many people forget.


Mine was the one never given. George W. Bush's resignation speech after impeechment proceedings were started and after Chaney had died of his 21'st heart attack.

At the risk off going :2offtopic - THE GREATEST SPEECH EVER would be another good idea for a thread.

PS: Just a guess but methinks MLK "I have a dream" will top Obama's, imo....

No speech has ever moved me more time and again then MLK's 'I have a dream' speech. I wish someone like him would show up again. And this time, let the bullet hit a nobody instead; like me.

Barack Obamas presidential nomination acceptance speech was tonight. It took place in front of 84,000 people at Mile High stadium in Denver.

I thought it was great. And it definately deserves to be mentioned on this thread.

Here it is for those who missed it ----> http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080829/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_obama_text_1

I agree that was a really good speech. I almost ejaculated while Obama was talking, it was that good.

I knew people were going to call Obama's speech fantastic before he even gave it.

It was very solid, but nothing Earth shattering.

Too much hype.

Not earth shattering? What more do you want?

I've never seen a political speech that you could say was better. I think that was about as good as they get.

It was long on dramatics and short on specifics. I am sick of dramatics. I want substance.
