Obama Speech

This is a great speech from senator Obama. He uses many rhetorical strategies in the speech. Obama opens by telling a story, which really grabs our attention. He uses the tone of his voice to show what is important to him and should be important to Americans. He goes on to talk about race, and how diverse his is. He then uses that to show how great a nation we are because of how everyone is treated with equality. This allows for unity, something Obama is preaching for. He even specifically mentions south carolina, "where the confederate flag still flies", which is an interesting connection. Obama is a great speaker and because of it, I believe, and hope he will win the presidency.
