His name, is Barack Obama. In 2008, Americans were astonished and puzzled to see a black man running for the presidency. Not in fear of him losing, but in praise and astonishment that a man of color has stepped up to the plate, and willing to exhibit courage, drive, and dedication to be named the President. For the young generation I am a part of, I would simply call it a blessing for young black citizens to see an African American brother such as Barack Obama in the White house. This inspires us in many ways.
Amazingly an author can really engage his/her audience, but that really takes a lot. Thurston Clarke was convincing his audience on how and why Kennedy’s speech succeeded, but at the same time giving the reader a model for a well worded and put together writing. All he provided were quotes from JFK’s Inaugural Address, descriptive background information on the actual speech and also on Kennedy’s life, and lastly by illustrating Kennedy’s presentation as a whole. Never have I been so convinced by an author, but Clarke will defiantly go down as the first
So far he has proven that he can over come all of the negativity that has been spilled around him because of his skin color. But he also proved that we could rise above racism and elect a black President. In his Inaugural Address he says, “and why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served in a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.” Pres. Obama knows that he has just made history in this ever growing nation and will put forth the most effort he will ever exert to prove to the people that not only will he be a good President, but that he will lead our nation into the future of hope and prosperity. Pres.
Governor Mitt Romney presented his ideas and concerns to a vast audience in Manchester, New Hampshire on April, 24 2012. Romney discussed with his audience the improvements that will be made when he is elected our new President in 2012.This speech appeals to all age groups and classifications, but especially to the middle class Americans. Throughout the whole speech Romney uses pathos as a way to get the audience to listen with their heart rather than their head; he gains credibility by appealing to the audience’s emotions, but begins to lose credibility by not stating any logical facts of statistical evidence, but overall Romney’s speech is effective. Romney begins his speech by thanking America. He thoroughly explains his journey leading up to the Presidential Candidacy, he states, “After 43 primaries and caucuses, many long days and more than a few long nights,
Kennedy’s inaugural address vividly underscored the changing of the guard, while promising to uphold America’s commitments. It was one of the shortest inaugural addresses of this century and the most effective and memorable since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s in 1933. This address will always be remembered by those in attendance and the many millions more who watched it on television or heard it on the radio. In his first months in office, he painted a sober, grim picture of the world as he found it. America’s defenses were weaker and its position in certain international situations in greater jeopardy than he expected.
Due to the country facing the biggest economic crisis since the second world war, Obama and Democratic Party leaders suggested an economic stimulus package to confront the crisis. The nation needed immediate relief and great recovery from the economy downfall. The nation needed a reform to avoid future depressions, due to these being major factors, relief, recovery and reform became Franklin D. Roosevelt's goals when he took the honor as president. The New Deal was a form of authority given to the government to aid help to all classes, groups and sections of our country. The New Deal plan was a form to deliver relief to the unemployed and those in danger of losing farms and homes, it was also set out to recover agriculture and businesses, and reform.
I chose this speech for its significance in history, as well as its influence on Nixon’s political standing at the time. He was a very powerful public speaker, as well as running mate and Vice President for Dwight Eisenhower. Nixon makes very powerful points though out his entire speech to show that he is in the right, and the charges against him and his party are being wrongfully made. Nixon’s greatest quality as a public speaker is his ability to sway the crowd with his charisma, and sincerity. His speech reached the people, and made them listen.
One night, a member of his studio audience suggests that Dobbs himself should run in the upcoming presidential election. The next day, Dobbs announces his candidacy, promises that he won’t accept any corporate contributions and gets himself placed on the ballot in a handful of key states. Much to the despair of his manager and producer , Dobbs takes the campaign seriously. Dobbs somehow gets enough support to be invited to a key debate with the Democratic and Republican and chooses to go “all out”. Inexplicably, this move strikes a chord with the debate audience and sparks support that culminated with Dobbs winning all the states where he is on the ballot.
There is a lot to blame on the past administration, for how bad the economy became. But the top priority of the people is to elect a candidate that will move the economy forward. With the election closing in, each candidate had their chance to make there statement in the debates. The President states that the recovery takes time, and there is still a lot of work to be done. While Governor Romney says, with his experience he knows what it takes.
Absolutely no question that Election Day has also been, and will always be an historic day in the United States. The presidential election of 2008 will be unlike any other in our country’s history. First, Americans have the option of electing a Black American into office, as well as the chance for a female to gain office as vice president. Secondly, if John McCain
