I have a theory about Presidential speeches: First of all, no one embodies the contemporary spirit of the country like the one-person office of the presidency. And that office at no time reflects the true sentiments of the nation more so than in a national address. The more national and widely watched, the more true to the current spirit of the country is the speech.
It doesn't matter whether the politician is from the left or right or otherwise - they hold public office and must appeal to the nation as a whole.
You want to study the spirit of America throughout history? Study the nationalized speeches of the presidency.
