Kind of in awe at the lack of good oration in the postmodern Western tradition actually Have there been any notable good speeches in the last 30 years? Something something irony culture?

Obama gave a couple that went over well at the time but he kinda failed to repeat after he was actually in office

Yeah I remember that--was it the keynote in 2004? Maybe his inaugural? But yeah everything in office was flat and cookie-cutter

I thought so too at the time. Going to go back and rewatch it tonight to confirm Remember thinking he deserved the nomination in 08 after watching it.

I remember thinking they should have shitcanned John Kerry on the spot and replaced him with Obama immediately. Actually I still feel that way.
