Numerous noteworthy speeches use logical fallacies as well as logos, ethos, pathos in order for an effective communication of the issue. For example, Obama’s Inaugural Address, incorporates an unforgettable slogan that reiterates throughout the entirety of the speech to make for a more powerful and effective address. During Obama's Inaugural Address, he reused the expression “We will” at the start of various sentences. He supposed, “We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.” This logical fallacy, glittering generalities, reminds people that Obama will bring our nation together.…
The inaugural address is a vital moment in any presidency. It is the first speech that is given by the president after being sworn in as president of the United States. The comparison of these speeches can help one better understand the intentions and overall message that the presidents are trying to convey. After watching and analyzing the inauguration speeches of Trump, Reagan, Kennedy, and Obama, it is clear that there are some similarities and differences among them. Trump and Regan both had a similar message in their inaugural addresses, all the presidents were able to use an anaphora, and their was a contrast between the language of Trump and Kennedy.…

The darkness in the world is blinded. It was not blinded by the light nor can’t find its way in the dark but a blur; the blur of indifference. A moving speech from a holocaust survivor has brought some shared thought in humanity. He discusses the time for change in the new millennium and shows the threat of the indifferent ones. Leaders of the past will fray the failures but yet not forget.…
In the beginning of the speech President Obama said, “My fellow citizens” (Jan, 2009). An emotional image was drawn in the citizen mind that the president has goals and aims in common.

Today is a sad day in United States history as our new President is sworn in. This is very unsettling to me that we will have a President that has openly ridiculed disabled people, disrespected our men and women in the armed forces, empowered racism, and a man that is unable to endure any criticisms. Sadly, he is a President that is so gullible, a man that has disrespected women, insulted our current President and someone that changes their opinion in a blink of an eye. A President that has no self-control and throws twitter tantrums daily. A man that once said “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”…
Perhaps the most moving moment of Obama’s first term as president came when he spoke at the memorial for victims of the shooting that killed nine people and injured 13 more, including Congresswoman Gabby Gifford. Obama, who teared up at one point and had to collect himself, not only tried to console the nation following the shooting (more than 30 million Americans tuned in to watch the speech live), but he also attempted to rise above the intensely partisan political discourse which was said to have motivated shooter Jared Loughner by calling for a new era in civility in our nation. Obama’s victory speech in 2008 was a masterpiece of political speechwriting. The speech which was thoughtful and reflective included numerous references to Martin…

Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. He was the first African American to serve as President. His story is not different from the average person. He was raised in a middle-class family where he was taught that hard work and education were the keys to getting ahead, and the “conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.” President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.…
All in all, one can say that Obama's victory speech is about America's past achievements and the path that America needs to take in the future. The usage of rhetorical devices is well chosen. Instead of himself, Obama centres the speech around the American people. He tries to make it well-understandable for everyone by using repetitions and common words and tries to appeal to the audiences emotion and patriotism by centering his speech around the history of America and its connection the American…
