1.0 out of 5 stars Major disappointment, December 25, 2008

By	Howard Lee "Howard" (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

I expected to hear full speeches. It consists of nothing more than 30 second to 60 second sound bites...a major disappointment. I'm stuck with it because it was a gift. The producers should be ashamed of themselves...a rip off.
