I went to YouTube.com immediately following President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech, and there were clips of the inaugural addresses of 10 former presidents: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald W. Reagan, George H. W. Bush, William J. “Bill” Clinton and George W. Bush. (Jimmy Carter’s speech was absent.) They all came from C-SPAN.

So if you want to revel in some high-flown rhetoric, as well as some ideological twaddle, go here and listen to what some great communicators had to say.
