I watched Bill Clinton give his and later read it. He of course had  
been strongly urged to keep the time down. I think that after the  
first fifteen or twenty sentences he spoke, the audience responded  
loudly and long. When you read the transcript it seems short. Of  
course he hates it when people applaud him.

If anyone has children studying public speaking they could learn a  
thing or three about speech composition and delivery from Bill  
Clinton. As a former public speaking multiple trophies winner I can  
say that he is the premier political speaker I have observed.
