Great site. Thanks for the link.

On a related note, Winston Churchill is one of the greatest voices, as well as one of the greatest men, in modern history.

It is kind of scary in a way to listen to Churchill and FDR at a time of great crisis, and compare that with our leaders of today. Both understood that there must be sacrifices made at a time of war. I don't think either one suggested we all go shopping. One thing that should not be overlooked is that both had a great command of the English language, and used it to great effect when rallying their country to the cause at hand.

Fortunately, the choice for our leader in 2004 was between two great orators, George W. Bush and John Kerry. Their sidekicks, John Edwards and Dick Cheney, are incredible speakers, as well.
