All political venting aside, consider that Clinton and Bush 41 have jointly spearheaded much non-partisan international charitable work that has benefited millions of people including architects who may have gotten some of this work. Also consider this address as a master class. As practitioners who are often called upon to connect with clients one-on-one or by making presentations to large audiences, Clinton is a master at connecting to his single listener or large audience, and we all might learn some useful speaking or presentation techniques. Frankly I am more concerned that AIA is charging $50 for each keynote, and we still don't know who the other two speakers are.
