An Inspiring Victory Speech

       Barack Obama’s Victory speech, just after he was elected President of the United States for a second term, was very inspiring and used rhetoric to transmit the message he wanted and reassured his followers that their decision was the best one. Despite this, Obama uses certain fallacies in order to persuade the audience that the United States is in its best moment and with his leadership, it will achieve even more than what is has in the past. Obama declared that if everyone worked together and carried out their duties, then there would be big recognitions and successful moments awaiting them. The premise is not necessarily true, since nothing guarantees that hard work means there are excellent things waiting for you at the end of the path. Obama guarantees this. In addition, Obama’s excellent use of deliberative speech and establishing his verb tense in the future gives choices to the audience, which certainly supports the ones Obama wants them to. Obama’s clever use of rhetoric made his victory speech a very influential and powerful one.
