I don't follow. My prejudice is why I think off the cuff speeches are harder?

I never said Reagan was bad at speeches. He was really good. Probably top 3 since we have audio of speeches.

I think Obama is the best overall orator we've had since Teddy.

That sounds better. But "Teddy", as in Roosevelt? He was certainly vigorous if you like that sort of thing, but it's a matter of taste. Between him and Reagan I think that both his cousin FDR and Kennedy were better orators. but again, now we're talking taste, and there's no right or wrong. ЁЯШГ
