I disagree. Kennedy told us to reach for the Moon and to ask what we could do for our country. MLK had a dream that has inspired the world.
That being said, my mantra for this election is 'form over style'.
I am trying to decide whiether I want to vote for the party that is honest about wanting to bugger me with new taxes, or the party that is dishonest about buggering me with new taxes. Either way, my bum is sore afterwards. :-)
Speeches are inspiring, yes, but had the *work* started on going to the moon - money and time spent on NASA, or acheiving equal rights - legal battles and leglistation, would the speeches have counted at all?

Cuz in the end, it isn't a speech that will fix anything in this country...
