The Presidential Speech On The President Obama

In Barack Obama’s speech, “A More Perfect Union,” Obama made an effort to educate the American people on the history and importance of race in America. He explained how our nations founding fathers developed our Constitution based on the idea that all men are created equal, without actually practicing this idea themselves. He used the words of the Constitution to discuss the current racial issues and to state his concern of our imperfect nation. This was all in response to the very controversial remarks Barack Obama’s pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright had previously stated, which created much unease among Americans. Obama felt the need to address our nation about this specific problem, since he identifies as a black man himself, and offer a solution to end this built up anger and discrimination between the American people. In his speech, “A More Perfect Union,” Obama is able to clearly convey the specific racial problem at hand that created the exigency for this speech, as well as effectively share his own personal connection with this issue, in order to help fix our country and work together to find a beneficial solution.

Giving a speech is not just spitting out words to a large group of people. It is an artform. The art of persuasion. The creator of this artform, is none other than the ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle. Aristotle believes, that there are five canons of rhetoric that must be followed. The five canons are rules for a more intriguing and more effective persuasive speech. The five canons are; Invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory. It is fascinating how writers, advertisements, salesmen, and especially politicians, still use Aristotle's methods of persuasion and is very effective. Barack Obama’s speech back in 2004, at the Democratic National Convention, is an impeccable example of a speaker using Aristotle’s five canons of rhetoric. This is the speech that many say, is the reason Barack Obama became president of the United States.

Picture this: a cold January day in Washington D.C, the first African American president is about to be inaugurated with a combined audience of over 38 million looking to be inspired.

In 2004, Barrack Hussein Obama was a little-known state senator from Illinois. As Saturday Night Live put it, in 2007 he "stumbled out of a soup kitchen with a basketball and a cigarette". However, in 2004, he got his first piece of nationwide exposure when he delivered the keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention. Despite the relatively low coverage of the speech by major cable news networks, videos of the speech have garnered over twelve million views on YouTube. In Obama's historic address, his use of Aristotelian rhetoric impressed the nation and led to his eventual election as president.

Some examples of convoluted sentences from the text are “His father,” and “The people I meet.”

This inaugural speech marked the beginning of the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States of America. It was delivered at United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. on January 21, 2013. The event followed the presidential election in the United States and it was very important all over the world, about a million of people gathered outside the Capitol to witness the president's words and millions more from around the world watched him on television (Staff). For first time, a president talked about same sex marriage and gay rights, he also talked about divisive issues such as reform of immigration policies, stopping climate change and preserving a social welfare safety net. Obama showed a progressive and liberal agenda, focused on equal rights and possibilities for all the citizens. The theme of the speech was “Faith in America's Future,” (Caldwell) and he successfully used various rhetorical techniques and resources to influence the audience.

Former President, Barack Obama, in his speech “Obama’s Commencement Address at Arizona State University”, the purpose is to convey the ideas that there is always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.

This speech included other gun related incidents which occurred during his time in office in 2015 regarding Umpqua Community College and Roseburg. After giving his condolences and love to those who felt loss in their hearts, Obama gave a powerful argument regarding gun control and how we, as Americans, should fight and strive for better gun laws. While Obama gave a moving speech, I could not help but feel it fell short in its argument while conducting a thorough critique.

Barrack Obama’s inauguration speech successfully accomplished his goal by using rhetoric to ensure our nation that we will be under safe hands.

He makes sure his audience connects with him directly by making them feel at his level, and him at theirs. This way he connects to the audience, and in exchange, helps his
