Inauguration Speech

Yet again, the Shakespeare of Presidency delivers an effective yet enduring speech to his fellow humble followers and believers. Not only did he advocate this Inauguration speech for this fellow Americans, but also to World leaders, people of different culture, religion, ethnicity, believes, from poor struggling people to rich, wealthy and high class society, and to extremists. With clear, simplified ambitions of a future America and the World, he concisely delivers all his speech with punctuality and with positive energy. With the tremendous usage of rhetorical devices and techniques delivered in all three of his speeches, he is able to persuasively achieve his points, with the audiences understanding, sympathetic, and is shown by the reactions of the audience by applauding, supporting and cheering. Although his Inauguration speech was much shorter than the others, he still brilliant was able to give out this speech with the same attitude as the others.

In this speech he thanked everyone that was with him from the first day. He stated his difficulties as his party wasn’t like the Republicans where money was poured in through executives and endorsed by the filthy wealth. He also says that this victory was not only his, but the victory for the nation. "But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you." Not only did he thank the nation, he also thanked the pioneers that helped shape America, as he describes the struggle of these pioneers as, “For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life….For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth….For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh”. He also is willing to work and create a bridge with the Muslim world, which the bridge was bombed and hatred by both the Americans and the Muslim society, in the past. “To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect… but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist”. Barrack Obama sinks my heart as with this caring and passionate heart and peaceful thoughts, I hope he can truly achieve world peace, connect with the Eastern governments, and help restore, respect and acknowledge the Humanitarian Rights and Freedom, as they are constantly being violated throughout the world.
Obama truly uses the rhetorical devices to the fullest extent. The one rhetorical device that I enjoyed reading was the anecdote when brought up the past about America’s birth. “So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood”. Whether it was him or his script writer who wrote this, it was very touching. The rhetorical device, anecdote, was used effectively, in my opinion.
Overall all three speeches by Obama were very intriguing and with his high level of charisma. He had used the rhetorical device perfectly. I enjoyed all his speeches with great gratitude, and I appreciate his future goals for a new America and World peace. I hope he can deliver what he says.
