Persuasive Barack Obama
Obama motivation speech
Good evening my fellow people. I Barack Obama stand before you today to give you the reasons why you should vote for me in the upcoming elections. We are just a few days away, and the tension is in the air. Many of you are still undecided whether to vote for me, or my competitor Senator John Mc Cain.
As a young boy that was born and grew up on Honolulu, Hawaii, I always dreamt that this would come. When people would ask me what I would want to be when I grew up, I always said “I want to be the next president of the United States.”
Like most reactions whenever someone gave that answer, people would laugh at me. Not because the chances of becoming the president of a nation are low, but because of my skin color. At that time no one ever thought that a black man could or would ever become president. I stand

No, I want you to vote for me because it is right. For centuries politics have been based on social status and skin color, but I am here today to change all of that. Do not look at my skin color, but look at me as a man. I am a man that can change the world for the better and solve the problems affecting us today.
Before I can even touch what is going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea and other warzones and threats to the American people, I must first clean up our mess. A terrible mess that has been created by the Republican Party of my competitor, John Mc Cain. Why vote him in if he will not change the current situation? They see everything as being fine, and the old saying goes “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.” He definitely will not fix it.
I Barack Obama stand for the people and I want change! A change that is long overdue. We need to better the economy so our people are not afraid to spend their money. Our education needs to be looked at and improved. Health insurance benefits for the lower class, and higher taxes for those who can actually afford to lose

    Dbq Political Realignment

    A political realignment of 1936 saw the few African-Americans, who were not disenfranchise in their right to vote, abandon their allegiance to the republican party and realign to vote democrat. This realignment would result in a voting turnout trend that still exists today. African-Americans overwhelmingly support politicians who orient to the Democratic Party. The racial group represents a key minority of the electorate that most candidates seeking political office wish to gain. With this knowledge in mind, if one were to run for president as a Democrat, the candidate would most likely win in the state of Michigan versus the state of West Virginia.…

    Obamas address to the nation is a very well developed speech with flowing thought and extremely critical and vital information being discussed. A subject that may trouble one is the actually effect of this speech. “Did it take wings” one might say or did it actually work or play out. Many issues were mentioned but was anything actually done upon these issues. A person can use as much inclining, ear catching words but if there is no action towards those words, then they are dead. “Actions speak louder than words.” President Obama brought up matters that the nation is struggling with correct, but what are the actions taken? Having experience in the ministry field and serving other people, I have learned one thing. A person has to role up your selves to get something done, meaning hard work. Political debates, big figureheads talking and not getting anything done will never solve any real problems. Barack Obama said, “We are not addressing the real issues” (Obama, 2008) and I am in accord with him. The real issues are actions not…

    The art of persuasion is a feature that can oftentimes, work to one’s advantage. In order to be persuasive, one must use persuasive techniques to convince a reader or listener to one’s viewpoint. Old sermons, such as Jonathan Edwards, “Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God”, are written to drive home a message or to bring the sinful back to the church. Beth Chapman’s modern speech, “Stand Up for America Rally Speech”, is proposed to convince Americans to support the troops who are laying down their lives for our freedom. The two authors use the persuasive techniques of repetition, appeal to emotion, through charged words and the appeal to reason, through common sense, in order to influence their listeners and persuade their audience that their viewpoints are correct.…

    While each of the candidates have points and beliefs that I agree with, if I was eighteen years old and able to vote at the upcoming election, my vote would be for Barack Obama. He seems to have good view points, a lot that are very similar to Mitt Romney, the thing that really pushed me over the edge on voting for Obama was his views on same-sex marriage. Personally, I am…

    What each candidate believes and stands for should be a big deciding factor for one to use in deciding which candidate to vote for. One may not agree with everything that a presidential candidate says, but one should agree as closely as possible to the candidate that he or she chooses. Donald Trump’s stand against abortion and his desire to do something about illegal immigration are some things that caused me to choose…

    had never made his “I have a dream” speech, America may never have an African-American president, Barack Obama. According to “Solidarity,” a socialist, feminist, and anti-racist organization, Obama’s election was a blow against 400 years of black slavery, legal segregation, and institutional racism. Plus, after the election, Obama stated, “Voting is the best REVENGE”. This election represented the end of the Civil Rights movement, for African-Americans finally believed that they had gained all of their rights, especially after an African-American president was elected. Obama’s quote also praises Martin Luther King Jr.; the quote means that the election of Obama was mostly voted for by the black community, which puts an exclamation point for where King had left off. For instance, Obama would not have been elected as president if the Voting Rights Act had never passed. If Obama was not elected, all races in America may not have the equal rights that they do today. Obama's election would not have been possible without the transformative effect of Dr. King's struggle, leadership, and legacy in ending segregation and institutional racism in the United…
