oration

“If Joe Biden had been up there giving that speech, many white coats would have interrupted him and carted him off and put him in a padded wagon,” host Ana Navarro said of the long-winded oration.

“Avoid emotional oration and loud, impassioned pleas. A well-reasoned and logical presentation without resort to histrionics is easier for listeners to comprehend.”

Mr. Biden described giving an oration in law school on a case he had not read and lying his way into an exclusive club in Delaware.

The movie came freighted with exposition, along with lengthy monologues and much stirring oration.

His skilled biblical oration, steeped in the Black Pentecostal tradition and melded with white evangelicalism, helped swell the membership of the storefront church he started in 1981 in Jenks, Oklahoma, to a full-service, multiracial congregation of more than 5,000.
