Using a speech as a related text for people and politics? (1 Viewer)

[Hardworking Knt]

I'm thinking of using a speech as a related text for this module, my prescribed texts are Auden's poems, specifically Shield of Achilles and Spain. I'm considering George W Bush's "we are a country awakened to danger." Are speeches a good idea? or are there any better political speeches out there?
Thanks
