Here’s an interesting take on presidential speeches from one of PRI’s board members, Clark Judge:
“Reagan was symphonic: every range of meaning and tone,” Judge said. “Bush 41 was rock ‘n’ roll: simple driving beat. (Bill) Clinton was improvisational jazz: lots of brilliant riffs, didn’t necessarily hold together.
“Bush 43 is like country music: strong story line, note of evangelical lyricism, clear sense of right and wrong. That’s Bush at his best.”
Bush speeches like country music

It is an interesting take on presidential speeches. Although I think Clinton’s speeches had a bit rap in there
with a lot of jive!!!
