How does Obama Establish Rapport? 2008
Barack Obama creates rapport with his audience during his victory acceptance speech in a multitude of ways. In terms of structure, he opens his speech by directly addressing those in front of him, ‘Hello Chicago!’ This creates an instant link with those before him. He then goes on to address those who may have doubted his chance at victory and immediately follows this by thanking ‘the lines’ of voters who have brought him to victory. This personal approach would engage the audience and make them feel directly involved in his success.
2012

    Obama strategically starts off the speech by appealing to ethos. He shares with us the grueling campaigning Senator McCain experienced and congratulates him and Governor Palin on all their achievements. This largely appeals to ethos because he is acknowledging the competitor in a respectable, honorable way. By honoring Senator McCain,…

    After closely analyzing the structure of two Presidential Inaugural Addresses made by President Obama and former President George W. Bush, the perspicuous rhetoric of President Obama reigned supreme. Barack Obama delivered his Inaugural Address as the first African American president of the United States. However, he did not dwell on the social and historical significance of his election. Instead he remained humble, focusing on illuminating the social, political, economic, and environmental issues threatening our nation, and establishing himself as a member of the general masses. Implementing a calm, confident, and hopeful tone allowed Obama to reassure the people of his loyalty and determination to improving our country.…

    Barack Obama was re-elected for a second term as president of the United States on November the 7th 2012, by beating Mitt Romney despite dissatisfaction with the way he handled the economy. Before this particular outcome of the election, Obama made some remarks at a Campaign Event in Denver, Colorado. These remarks were among many other initiatives established by Obama to persuade the American people to vote for him. In order to reach this goal, he uses modes of appeal and rhetorical features, which I will clarify and shed light over in my rhetorical analysis of his speech by providing examples and explanations.…

    Elected as the 44th president, Barack Obama made history being the first African American to be elected president of the United States. Barack Obama’s inauguration speech set a record for the amount of people there at any event in the nation. Obama delivers an uplifting speech to the nation filled with rhetorical devices and appeals that caught much American’s attention. One rhetoric appeal that Obama used was pathos. “Homes have been lost, jobs shed, business shuttered”, Obama said. This is significant because this is a reason why Obama wants to make the United States a better place. This pathos appeals to emotion. Another rhetoric appeal that Obama used was ethos. “I thank President Bush for his service to our nation.” This means that President Obama respects what he did for the nation but now it’s his turn to come in and take the thrown. This ethos appeals to Obama’s respectfulness.…

    During his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Barack Obama introduced himself as a skinny kid with a funny name. The rising star of Illinois politics was elected to the U.S. Senate three months later. His delivery, using rhetoric, was full of fervid sentiment that reminds us of what we love about the United States of America. His passionate speech inspired Americans to renew their faith in their country and persist their individual dreams and yet still come together as one American family.…
