Barack Obama 's Speech On The American Job Act

In 2004, Obama walked up to the podium at the Democratic National Convention as a political novelty. The speech he delivered established Obama as a natural leader and transformed him into a future presidential candidate. Rich in demonstrative rhetoric, its purpose was to unite the American people through nationalism. The exploration of his rhetoric and style throughout this paper will cement why the speech was beneficially identity transforming for Obama's political career.

Within his speech, Barack Obama admits that the United States is in the "midst of a crisis" but he believes that it can change, but he also makes it clear that the change cannot happen overnight. Obama's inspirational tone stirs up the nation with phrases such as “dust ourselves off” and “bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions.” Barack Obama's message persuades his audience because the message is believable and delivered by an honest man. In his previous speeches, Obama spoke of race and prejudice, an economic crisis and his hopes and fears with such intelligence that when

While Obama is campaigning for the upcoming presidential election, many citizens have voiced their opposition to re-electing him into office. The economy’s downward spiral over the last four years has affected his loss of votes and now the

Truthfully, there are a lot of significant Economic issues that were addressed in President Obama’s State of the Union Speech. Obama had many successes in the past year, including: the strongest production of jobs in fifteen years, drivers saving an expected hundred dollars because gasoline prices were extremely low, and the unemployment rate plummeting to a miniscule 5.6%. However, the wages of middle-class Americans remain unchanging. President Obama plans to fix this issue, using what he referred to as “Middle-Class Economics”. What is the idea of Middle-Class Economics? According to our forty-fourth president, Middle-Class Economics is defined as “the idea that this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does

President Obama conveys pathos his ability to empathize with the people of America about the issues that were going on throughout the country by expressing his dedication to fixing them. Obama appeals to the anger of American citizens on by showing knowledge of the economic struggle by saying "Homes have been lost, jobs shed, businesses shuttered."(15) Also that "Our health care is too costly, our schools fail

The current event I choose for this assingment is The State of the Union Address delivered by President Barack Obama at the U.S. Capitol in Washington on January 28 2014. The State of the Union address is the Presidents annual speech to Congress and the nation; it’s an opportunity for the President to set the legislative agenda, launch proposals and directing public attention to his goals for the future. Eventhough the speech is delivered before Congress, it is mainly regarding the public. It's a chance for the President to highlight the progress America has made for the past few years, as well as outline new ideas and changes he hopes to make with the help of congress and support from the public. In addition, it’s hope that the State of the Union Address promotes unity among both parties in congress and win support for his legislative agenda from the public.

During the 2016 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama reflects over his presidency and focuses on the current and future issues America is facing. In the address, President Obama speaks on the progression of each race, gender, and age group on what had been achieved over the past 7 years in order to allow each individual American to relate with his address. President Obama used a great amount of rhetoric language through out his address. For example, he used pathos when saying “Came over fear,” because it give emotion and it allowed the American people to believe that they can overcome anything. This also gives the audience a sense of pride. He used a logical approach when speaking of how food stamps don’t cause financial crisis, Wall Street does. Through this rhetoric statement, he is persuading people to believe that Wall Street is corrupt. When president Barak Obama says,"...and for this final one, I 'm going to make it a little quicker," he is using kaikos because he

In Barack Obama’s speech, “A More Perfect Union”, he addresses the remarks of his pastor, Jeremiah Wright. Obama was heavily criticised for what Wright had said in his sermon. Obama's purpose for his speech was not only to address his pastors outburst, but also to speak about racial relations and the intricacies revolving around race. He accomplishes this through means of dynamic diction, the use of we instead of I, and by establishing his own credibility as well as Wright's.

Despite making history as the first African-American to be nominated for the presidency by a major party, let alone be elected as president, Obama did not emphasize his race, as many black politicians had in order to appeal to areas of white majority. He did, however, address race and civil rights—although not directly—through the comprehensive theme of unity, recognizing the shared goals and dreams of all Americans regardless of one's differences to another. The collective aspiration of solidarity was felt as Obama gave his First Inaugural Address; his application of references to the founders and influential leaders of America, history, biblical scripture, and its relevance to today—including a statement acknowledging all religions, instead

In the Address “On the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Seventh Anniversary” by Barack Obama, people could see the use of descriptive assumptions about the economy of America and the use of renewable energy policies that supports Obama’s Government. Those different assumptions performed are well received by the audience. Or at least those assumptions caused a good reception in the thinking of people respect to the recovery of the economy of America and the innovation in the use of clean energy. Also, it is important to recognize some illogical assumptions in this speech of Obama.

Obama created a particularly moving portion of his speech. He call Clementa Pinckney a good man and everyone claps. Through the use of tone he conveys the feeling of being hopeful, and reminiscent, as well as heartfelt. At the same time he uses a very level voice, he isn’t that loud, but what he is saying still is able to resonates with you. While his pauses allow you to fully take in what he is saying. Due to the fact that what he is saying is important, he keeps his hand gestures to a minimum which lets you focus on what he is saying. If you focus on his expressions you may note that he looks kinda hopeful, like he is proud of himself. At the same time he looks like this is a bittersweet moment, because Clementa Pinckney has was a good man

The State of the Union Address given by President Barack Obama on January 12, 2016, has a confident tone. Throughout his speech, Obama references the strength and influence America has on other countries. The dominant and assertive diction and sentence structure used by Obama is confident, which leads to a powerful climax, “The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period...when it comes to every important international issue, people of the world do not look to Beijing or Moscow to lead — they call us” (Obama). Tone is a speaker’s attitude toward the subject and audience. By including a confident tone in his speech, Obama was able to directly orate to the entire country his point of view on the country’s presence and

Obama delivers a descriptive speech that includes situations and issues that are familiar to the audience. Throughout his speech, he is composed and conversational: makes continuous eye contact; looks presentable and comfortable; uses no vocal fillers and made appropriate pauses. He voiced his thoughts openly and with optimism and delivered a speech that addressed the people’s concerns. Americans expect a President to embody the attributes of a leader’s confidence, effective communication, commitment, and intuition. Obama illustrated that he is not only a leader but also a President America can depend on. He creates a formal diction using sophisticated syntax and eloquent word choices such as “corrosive” and “consensus”. From beginning to end he holds the attention of his audience through a series of common goals he believes that can be reached

On April 8, 2013, President Barack Obama spoke at the University of Hartford on behalf of those who died in the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut. President Obama addressed the people of the state of Connecticut and on a federal level. The broadcasting networks provided live coverage of President Obama’s speech, and a national audience listened as the president’s addressing the issues and the next steps forward for the country. The impact of this tragedy and previous massive shootings and Obama’s explanation have been a subject of a controversial debate.
