The

The Richard Nixon is not considered one of our most charismatic public figures, but he is the only man in American history to be elected twice as vice president and twice as president.

Many considered him socially awkward at best, paranoid and vindictive at worst.

Some even said he had demons, demons that led to his downfall in the Watergate scandal.

He somehow overcame all of his awkwardness and

paranoia to succeed in American politics, mainly because he was a brilliant strategist.

And the Vietnam War would challenge his skills as a strategist and a statesman. After several

months in office, Nixon sought to rally the American people

behind his strategy in Vietnam. This speech, delivered in November of 1969, served that purpose.

In delivering the speech, Nixon coined a new phrase in American politics, the great silent majority.

In the speech, he tries to cut through all of the turmoil and all of the noise of the

1960s, all of the protests and the pundits, and speak directly to the forgotten Americans.

He also outlined a new presidential doctrine, the Nixon doctrine,

which changed the face of American foreign policy. Nixon, who famously struggled to maintain

a positive public image, hit exactly the right note in delivering this speech. It was an example

of brilliant presidential

communication, and his approval rating shot up from 50 to 81%. Enjoy the show.
