Reagan was very very good.

Clinton and Obama were solid.

Clinton


In 93 he was giving a speech to Congress and the teleprompter was loaded with the wrong speech. He ad-lib for 10 minutes before anyone knew. I had a Sheriff in Arkansas tell me that Clinton could meet you one time and remember you next time he met you.

I hated the dude when he was in office but looking back I would take him back in a heartbeat over Joe.

As a former sports broadcaster and actor, Reagan was an excellent communicator, who was supported by an excellent speech writing staff.

I was 16 when the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded and I still remember how Pres. Reagan ended his speech describing how the Challenger crew had prepared for their journey, waved goodbye and "'slipped the surly bonds of this earth' to 'touch the face of God.'"
