In my opinion, this site is best for this topic. Who knows the president that gave an inaugural speech in bitter cold weather that took 1 hr 45 minutes to deliver? He caught cold and dies days later. Some blame his speech on it. Then who delivered the shortest? If you can name the first president, you got it. Is there a reason to tie up the public with long winded gab fests? This might get you to thinking. http://blogs.britannica.com/2009/01...-longest-shortest-dumbest-and-most-memorable/
