Our American Orator: Bringing Back the Spirit of An Old American Tradition
Obama is proving himself to be a strong and inspirational speaker; confident, charismatic, and projecting Presidential strength. His address Friday before US Military troops and his words on troop withdrawal from Iraq have proven that in all dilemmas and on all issues, Obama can hold his own:(see link below). The soaring rhetoric and the authoritative stance, fused with speech which is poetic and sensitive to rhythm and cadence is a formula for success, and for empowering unity and bipartisan ideals. A return to a consensus again seems possible, as it has not since the days of JFK, FDR, and Lincoln. He is a Fourth Turning president, with the fourth turning spirit and intuition. It is ironic that so many tried to downplay the importance of his great oratory skill during the campaigns. What they seemed intent on missing or ignoring is that America has a rich history of oratory men: William Jennings Bryant, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, the James brothers, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK, among many others. . ,
