- Outdated. Selective in a politically biased way. Needs more variety and much more material. Big gaps in the chronology too. It's a good start, but how about some conservatives contributing to this? How about some recordings of Democrats in 1964 opposing the Civil Rights Act? The majority of Democrats voted against it you know.

- From the page: " History and Politics Out Loud is a searchable archive of politically significant audio."

- History in this form is so important because sometimes the orator can convey through tone or facial expression what cannot be put into print. One prime expample was Winston Churchill. The man was a genius in using the English language to his benefit. Just listen to that voice and even try to convince me he was not the supreme master of English language communication in the 20th century!

- Small selection, hasn't been updated in 3 years, but what's there is very cool, especially the Watergate tapes and Churchill's "iron curtain" speech.
