I’m a political junkie, but I find most politicians’ speeches annoying and condescending. The art of giving an engaging speech is lost, in my humble opinion.

The left has talked down to their people for a long time, certainly no later than Carter who was always scolding and patronizing towards Americans. As I recall it, JFK could be inspirational, LBJ pontificated, and Carter scolded. We had a golden era with Reagan, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp and Newt Gingrich in their prime, but the GOP started Carteresque hectoring and condescending with Bush I. The condescending travels with the smug elitism, and has been pretty thick since 1989.
