Something tells me they didn't have a teleprompter back then.

Yes, which would be why he is staring above the camera.

This speech was not given in the 80s. It was 1964.

You're hilarious.

Quote:
I have come out of speeches where he was reading teleprompters and people said, 'My goodness, how did he do that? He memorized that speech perfectly.' The camera was really one of his strong points." "He was utterly comfortable," said Mike Wallace, the 60 Minutes correspondent and a longtime friend of Nancy Reagan. "But it had nothing to do with the camera. He was a guileless man. And that came across, which made the audience comfortable with him. But I don't think it was contrived. I never thought it was contrived in any way. He was comfortable." If President Reagan had flummoxed the brilliant Edmund Morris, who, in his 1999 authorized biography Dutch , couldn't seem to find Ronald Reagan behind the TV hologram-and who'd felt forced to insert himself in fictional form into the pivotal moments of Reagan's life to find what he assumed must be there: the real, actual man leaning on the stage light after the show-maybe it was because he didn't have a camera rolling while he interviewed him. It was Ronald Reagan's considered awareness of the TV set-the teleprompter, the stage directions, the red recording light above the lens-that made him appear natural on the screen, said Mr. Dusenberry. He recalled setting Reagan up for TV ads in 1984 and offering him a few takes to get warmed up. "I had written a commercial for him the night before and I knew he hadn't seen it, so I said to him, 'Mr. President, let me run this through the teleprompter for you, just so you can get familiar with the dialogue here,'" Mr. Dusenberry recalled. "And he said, 'Oh, let's live dangerously, let's just shoot it.' And we shot it, and he brought it in just half a second under the allotted time. It was a 60-second spot-not a flub, not a false inflection. It was just perfect. So he was the master of the technical aspects of this craft.

Ever heard of cue cards?

Or memorizing lines?

That's how actors like Ronnie Reagan did it.

Right. A guy that sells weapons to our enemies is a true hero. A guy that let millions get infected with HIV is a good man. A guy that tried to rule the world through sheer intimidation is a real champ.

Not.

Here are some brilliant Reagan quotes:

A tree's a tree. How many more do you need to look at?
Ronald Reagan

All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk.
Ronald Reagan

Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.
Ronald Reagan

I'm not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.
Ronald Reagan
