While "I Have a Dream" is the obvious one, it also seems out of place. It has my vote anyway.
Why Jimmy Carter's "Crisis of Confidence" ain't on here is an absolute mystery for sure.
Also Obama's 2004 DNC Keynote was good too.
Lol Carter's malaise speech is considered one of the worst .
Not being well-received =/= being a bad speech.
Yes , as the whole point of making these speeches is to make sure they are well received .
I was under the impression the speech was well received enough to provide a minor bump to his approval rating.
It did.
Also, speeches are there to make points that the speaker feels need to be made that cannot be done by other means. Good reception is the hope, but not the first end. A speech isn't a popularity rally cry after all.
