Although we're not talking about MLK in this thread, I was under the impression that he wrote his own speeches, and is considered one of the greatest orators of the century. Certainly Homer Simpson, who is quoted above, writes all his own material, and is nobody's empty suit. -Peace, Love, and Brittanylips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you read or listen to the, "I Have A Dream", speech, you'll see MLK says; "When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing [b]in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"[/b] So yes, he wrote the speech. But he attributed the quote to the anonymous author(s) of the song. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBBPaul Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 This is getting a little silly isn't it? When was the last time any politician wrote their own speech? C'mon, it's totally fair to debate the message and delivery but the words? Even if he wrote it himself, I'm sure he would have gone through multiple drafts which is really no different than having someone else put it together. It's just more efficient to have some speech writer put the words together so that the Prez can concentrate on his job - the strategic direction of the country. In the same vein, who was the last really good public speaker? One with passion and fire, who could truly motivate. It seems to me that we really haven't had one in quite a while. All politics and content aside, who has been a really good speaker? Bush Jr? Always looks uptight to me - like a deer in the headlights. Gore? No, always seemed to be talking down while lacking in credibility. Clinton? Good presentation but I always felt like he was trying too hard to sell me something. Especially when he used his "finger of sincerity". Perot? Pretty good but came off as a bit of a quack. Bush Sr? Came off too much like a CIA director. No sincerity. Reagan? Damned good. No doubt the Hollywood training paid off. Carter? Total wish wash. Ford? Not too bad but fumbled a lot. Nixon? Looked too sleazy. Kennedy? Damned good. MLK? One of the best ever. Malcom X? Outstanding. But look at Hitler, that guy could fire up a crowd. Churchill, very moving. Who else? Who am I missing? Do we really have to go back 20 years or more to find a leader who was able to present well? BTW, back to the original subject, I too, wish our soldiers only the best and hope they come home safely.

However, in the case of GW Bush, it is particularly annoying that a powerful phrase is attributed to someone who can barely put a sentence together. -PL&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
