I found him seriously annoying. His soft, smooth way of talking aggravated me to no end.
Mr. Rogers (the PBS "Neighborhood" guy) annoyed me in the same manner.
I can read Reagan's quips and speeches just fine, but I could never listen to them.
Really? I loved listening to Reagan speak. I know what you mean about someone’s speaking style rubbing me the wrong way - Cruz does that to me big time.
