Changing Minds

"Just a brief moment, Linda, to thank you for my delicious meals. And if you need me by your side... just whistle." "What fresh hell is this?"

"Now that I can talk, here's my speaking fee."

'I look forward to a bigger and bolder vision in my 2nd term.'

Hanging off every word...

"I believe I can create a great presentation if I can only tap into my cognitive dissonance."

"My master's vowel hyperarticulation is wearing a bit thin..."

Business coach hiding in speach desk.

'I'll try to keep my remarks brief.'

'Vote for me because my Super PAC raised lots more money than my opponent's Super PAC.'

'Vote for me. I'm ready, and willing. Two out of three isn't bad.'

Time for speeches
