SSIA... Kennedy & Reagan, the two SUPER-SYMBOLS of their respective parties had some of the best.. so does Obama now. As Frank Rich put its:
How did the fairy-tale prince from Camelot vanquish a field of heavyweights led by the longtime liberal warrior Hubert Humphrey? It wasn’t ideas. It certainly wasn’t experience. It wasn’t even the charisma that Kennedy would show off in that fall’s televised duels with Richard Nixon.
Looking back almost 30 years later, Mr. Goodwin summed it up this way: “He had to touch the secret fears and ambivalent longings of the American heart, divine and speak to the desires of a swiftly changing nation — his message grounded on his own intuition of some vague and spreading desire for national renewal.”
In other words, Kennedy needed two things. He needed poetry, and he needed a country with some desire, however vague, for change.
Mr. Goodwin and his fellow speechwriter Ted Sorensen helped with the poetry.
RP's message has a little bit of poetry as well which is why I think Dr. Paul should deliver some more "Speeches".. you know, those things that are written before hand and delivered word for word via a teleprompter.
I've (and a lot of other supporters) have been BEGGING for this for some time now... enough is enough.. DELIVER THE SPEECH DR. PAUL
