Yesterday morning, I ran five miles on the treadmill. I greeted my waking wife and daughter with a hug. I enjoyed a delicious inauguration breakfast omelette. I checked email. And then I glued myself to the living room chair to watch what I believed would be the greatest speech of my life.
I wasn’t alone. All around the world, people were doing the same (well, except for the 5 mile run).
Many were expecting, hoping, and praying for the greatest speech of all time.

This article is the latest in a series of video speech critiques which help you analyze and learn from excellent speeches.
