An Open Letter To Madam President Re: Public Speaking 101
Stardate: 1004.22

Posted on 04/21/2010 10:06:43 PM PDT by The Wizard

As a supporter of Madam President without the ability to actually reach her, I turn to the wonderful Free Republic in an effort to help her be "all that she can be"....

1. Use the mike/sound system.....don't yell, go quiet and watch how effective that can be.....then they can yell and applaud....It just as easy to rally a crowd by going quiet, but many don't realize it.....

2. There is no reason to answer any question that you feel is inappropriate, just say so. Leadership establishes rules of conduct, let them cry that you wouldn't answer a "gotcha question" it will only enhance your status

3. There is nothing wrong with telling a questioner that their question is something you haven't had a chance to think about, and you would rather take the time to consider it before answering.....very strong.

4. NEVER allow the premise of a question to go unchallenged if it is wrong.

5. Always assume you are "on the air" it is safer

6. Continue all the great things you already do, by being yourself and being honest about how you feel....

7. Someday you may cry, go ahead, never think it makes you weak.....we all cry. Those who love you will cry with you, those who don't, don't matter.

We who do love you cannot wait to vote for you....may you save America and allow all of us to get behind you....we will be there for you....

I couldn't make heads or tails of this until I got to the last line. Now that I get it, I get it.

Thanks for supporting Sarah.

She will be "Madame President," with an 'e' as shown in Bellagio's masterpiece.

I will only add, “pause more often” during speeches, because her crowds are dying to explode in applause.

Right. I use Madame because ‘madam’ is often the title and description for a certain “profession.”

It should be spelled without the “e”, when used as an honorific (as in “Madam President”). Madame is the French version of “Mrs.”.

Well, I’ll be raising at least $2 million dollars for her if she does run, so if she wants to spend it on a speech coach or similar, have at it!!
