2/17/09 Inaugural Address

First of all what caught my attention is President Obama has a certain of voice like he is so confident in what he is saying and believes in it more than anyone else. That confidence makes him much more appealing. Obama also uses certain events that hit everyone in the US emotionally. When he said "homes shattered" I thought of Hurricane Katrina right away. Also when he mentioned "losing jobs" that made me think of the economy and I'm sure we all know someone who has been affected poorly by our current economic state. He also uses the word "we" which makes us think he is directly talking to us and our family like we know Obama personally. When he talked about how his dad wasn't able to get served in a restaraunt sixty years ago and now his son is the president, that was interesting because he put his personal life into speech. Obama just has that certain charisma that makes him such a good public speaker that I haven't seen many people have.
