Great Speeches in Action

Ever wonder how the really great speech-makers do it? How they somehow convince, inspire, motivate and entertain all in one go rather than boring their audience to turpitude as most politicians tend to do? 

Well here's a great insight into a great speech in action from the Buzzfeed website: the text of Bill Clinton's speech from the Democratic National Convention with amendments and additions. The planned speech is in black, with deletions in red and additions in blue.

He brought the house down at the convention (admitedly the audience was biased) even after a magnificent speech the previous day by Michelle Obama.  Watch the two of them in action in the videos below:
