The mistake politicians make in speaking "off-the-cuff" is they think they actually have to speak off-the-cuff and not rehearse. If you read anything about Reagan you know he rehearsed his speeches over and over until they sounded "off-the-cuff" because the words then came naturally and he could focus more on the emotion of the speech thus making it appear "off-the-cuff".
