His only great "speech" moment was standing in the rubble of 9-11 with all the work crews with the megaphone when he said, "They'll hear from us soon." In the atmosphere of that moment, it gave me chills.
Nothing else he said, did!  |
I have said this before but I think a big part of the Bush failure when it came to communicating was on the part of his speech writers. They never seemed to get the way he communicated. When he felt something and spoke without their assistance he did fine. He will never be great at it but he could have done better.
The line from Reagan's speech, "tear down that wall" he put that in there. Then when it went to the State dept for review they took it out. It went back and forth it was never actually in the prepared remarks he was supposed to make. When the time came he threw it back in there.
