Wow. A speech can be delivered well, or it can be delivered well and in a sincere manner that touches many worldwide.

President Reagan did the latter, in spite of a media that hated him.

Like J.G. Holland wrote in his poem, God Give Us Men:

God give us men. A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands! Men whom the lust of office does not kill, Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy, Men who possess opinions and a will, Men who love honor, men who cannot lie.

Reagan was such a man. We sure could use a guy like that now.
