I don't really have a list of favorites but here are some other good ones:

- Mario Cuomo at the 1984 DNC ("A Tale of Two Cities")
- FDR's First Inaugural Address
- Martin Luther King - "Beyond Vietnam"
- Malcolm X - "The Ballot or the Bullet"
- Barack Obama's Post-Iowa Speech

GPorter was on to something naming some Reagan speeches as great speeches, but I have to say that President Reagan's greatest speech was made after the Challenger Disaster.

"To breach the surly bonds of Earth, to touch the face of God." 

Yeah, that was some pretty effective nonsense.

As someone who watched it live I can say that his words were very special and very well done. Don't be such a hack.

Ok, I've seen it. To me, it's nonsense. It isn't a requirement for me to hold the same opinions as you, thankfully.

Yeah, but you still are a dumbass hack, to be fair.

Yeah, and you're a completely non-partisan, highly educated individual.
