I’m quite intrigued by this Wall Street Journal article about the legacy of presidential writing. In it, Jonathon Raban compares Obama’s writing skills to Lincoln’s, and the power that good writing can give to a presidency.

I have not read Obama’s memoirs, nor have I studied Abraham Lincoln’s speeches, both of which I’d like to read and study. But I certainly appreciated this particular author’s insights into leaders and their writing.

I really enjoyed studying Churchill’s speeches last year.

What governmental leaders have impressed you with their writing?
