Mabe William bradford as well. Ben franaklin was intrigued by this man.
SouthernDemocrat said:Bush Jr, was not a president of the last century. Even if he were, by anyone's standards, he is a terrible public speaker.
As far as the rest go, you can only have 10 options on a poll on here. So I had to limit the choices to those presidents who are generally considered to have been good speakers. However, in hindsight, I do wish I would have included Woodrow Wilson.

Hitler and all of the songs he played in the backround of his speaches? Ben Franklin was a man with many gifts.SKILMATIC said:No the best orator of all time was hitler.

Teddy?vauge said:I voted Reagan, but in hindsite it should have been Teddy.
His fireside chats redeveloped the country that we live in today. The majority of Americans didn't even know he was in a wheelchair! In that day and age, a disability (even polio) would have been frowned upon and he would have gotten less respect.
Teddy?
SKILMATIC said:Teddy aka theodore Roosevelt is where we derive the term for the stuffed animal teddy bear. Theo was also nicknamed teddy roosevelt. He was called teddy becasue he was pudgy and cuddly .

SKILMATIC said:O btw vauge the fireside chats were performed by FDR not Theodore roosevelt. Just to let you know. Again teddy was a nickname for theodore roosevelt not franklin.

Hey, he was an entertaining guy. You don't see Kennedy having a reoccuring role on the show Futurama.
Couldn't resist, could you. That's funny Sh it.Timequake said:JFK
"I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant, nor Jewish -- where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the pope, the National Council of Churches, or any other ecclesiastical source -- where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials -- and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all."
But who doesn't enjoy Bushisms??
"I'm conservative, but I'm not a nut about it."
"Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"
"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?"
"I believe the results of focusing our attention and energy on teaching children to read and having an education system that's responsive to the child and to the parents, as opposed to mired in a system that refuses to change, will make America what we want it to be — a more literate country and a hopefuller country."
and my favorite... and most profound:
"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history."
BAHAHA
