I read an interesting thing once about that speech given by Churchill. If I recall it was in the book The Story of English, in a chapter concerning the Anglo-Saxon roots of the language. Every word in that speech (or maybe just that famous section, I dunno) was Anglo-Saxon derived except for one, which was the "surrender."
You might say that as orators go, Bush suffers in comparison.
