Obama's Speech
President elect Barack Obama made his acceptance speech in Chicago, Illinois on November 4th. Throughout his speech, me mentioned how that night was a night of change for America. He focussed in on the importance of that night. Like other speeches before him, he thanked family, friends, and those who campaigned for him. He also mentioned how they had the best political campaign in the history of elections. Obama uses pathos by focussing on the audience and connecting with them. He mentions how the campaign started all over the United States, and this makes the audience feel closer to him. He used the calm voice he is known for by speaking of togetherness and unity in a patriotic way. He also uses pathos when he mentions the puppy that his daughters are getting when they move into the White House. He shows his respect towards McCain and Palin who lost, yet he still congratulated them for their hard work. His speech reflected the ideas of his campaign: change for America.

I also felt Obama gave a strong speech. Although ive been sceptical of him, his speech helped to make me feel he is going to be a good president.
He did give a strong speech, and I would say it may not have even been the content, but rather the charisma with which he spoke. I hope that he plans on following through his presidency with the confidence of the American people. The energy in the crowd was awesome and helped it become an even more powerful speech.
