I don't think it's the environment that prevents him from making speeches... based on his behavior in office I think he just wouldn't be a good speaker.

Having heard Ford speak live, I can assure you people pay obscene amounts of money for any formerly famous or powerful person (or would have, in the past).

I think the same, he was not a good speaker, and besides that, I think none of his speeches stood out enough.
