Obama's Speech-reflection


Q: In his speech, how does Obama persuade people to believe in and follow him?

In Obama's Inaugural Address he covered a wide range of topics that he felt were most dire and most needed. His approach I felt was very real and to the point. He would start off by giving a, lack of a better word, vague start and then very neatly narrow down what he is trying to say. You could feel the similarities of Obama and Martin Luther King Jr as he spoke. Obama had a crisp way of changing tones to emphasize points and to capture the audience. He used history and the fore bearers of the country to create a contrast of then to now and to eleviate a new sense of motivation in the air. He stressed the economy, and the need to become more virtuous and, to my inference, less on the ideas of "pocketbook spending." Corruption has existed for too long and must be stopped. Obama expressed the possibilities and the standard of our country's potential. -It is unmatched and unstoppable as long as we live to our potential; he plans on making altercations so that we will prosper and once again be the most dominant country in the world. He personified America to "get up and stand up" and live to the forefathers creed! In the speech, he slammed the point of terrorism and that "we will not be defeated," generating hope, motication, and patriotism. He pushes the fact that he cannot do it alone and it is a hard task but since the world is changing, then our country must change, therefore the citizens of the United States of America most help and change as well.
