One of the greatest speeches in history.

That must be Reagan's only time while President, since he was famous for his dependency upon the teleprompter. When I saw the thread title, I expected the thread to be about the greatest example, Clinton's State of the Union, when he brilliantly improvised most of the speech after his teleprompter mysteriously failed. Republicans were awfully quiet afterward.

That's because Republicans realized at that moment that, although Clinton was a Dem, he was intelligent enough to be Republican.

Reagan wasn't president in 1964.
 
Reagan had a lot of script memorizing practice under his LINE?
 
Am I missing something? Who cares if a teleprompter is used or not?

Somehow the Republicans think that a man who was the President of the Harvard Law Review, who wrote two books, and who is a master orator is actually a dummy who is incapable of communicating without a teleprompter.
 
obama says "umm" like lma says "you know"

alot

but do we really have to go back to 1964 to find a good speech?

So what if he is? What a man has to say is far more important than how he says it.

President Ron Burgundy

Maybe phonetic spelling would have helped His Brilliance?

He sounded like a Libertarian back then, too. Anti-war (non interventionist) before it was fashionable. Reference to the founding fathers, too.

As for the peace that we would preserve, I wonder who among us would like to approach the wife or mother whose husband or son has died in South Vietnam and ask them if they think this is a peace that should be maintained indefinitely. Do they mean peace, or do they mean we just want to be left in peace? There can be no real peace while one American is dying some place in the world for the rest of us. We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it's been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening. Well I think it's time we ask ourselves if we still know the freedoms that were intended for us by the Founding Fathers.
