'Personal Response to Obama’s Inauguration Speech\r'

' passim the speech, Obama maintains the theme of small things being able to fuck off into anything. In the section entitled â€Å"Victory for the mint”, this is very much present, as he describes how his black market â€Å"didnt start with much m whizy”, and didnt begin in grand government buildings in the countrys capital, but â€Å"in the backyards of Des Moines…and the front porches of Charleston”. He dialogue about how working flock scraped together â€Å"what junior-grade savings they had” to contribute small amounts of money to the cause. Obama describes how the shift became stronger because of the millions of the Statesns, young and old, who volunteered and created support for his cause. All of this creates an image of iodine and limitless possibility for anyone who wants to pay off success in conduct.\r\nThis, of course, is reflected in Obamas own improbable story, having been a mixed-race Kenyan-the Statesn raised by his grandpar ents and having relatively little political experience, stock-still managing to be elected president of the most important and all-powerful country in the world. Obama adds to his means of angiotensin-converting enzyme by describing his victory as â€Å"your victory” †heart and soul that it is the American multitude who have brought about this reassign and who have managed to get their voices heard; although he is the one standing on the podium making an espousal speech, it was them who succeeded in putting him there.\r\nObama invokes images of unity throughout his speech. tenfold times, he refers to his country as the â€Å"United States of America” †using the full name though the contraction â€Å"USA” or just â€Å"America” would have been sufficient. He talks about their â€Å"common design” and uses â€Å"we” instead of â€Å"I” to instil a sense of togetherness in his audience. He tries to include all type s of people in his message †â€Å"young and old, rich and poor, populist and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American… change and non disabled”. He even includes â€Å"gay [or] straight” people in his list, showing an unusual amount of leeway for a to-be American president. All of this introduces an extremely likeable, human race element to his character.\r\nThis approachable, human manner is maintained throughout the speech. Although Obama has been elected to be the single most powerful human being in the world, he does not attempt to put on a cold, butch fa�ade. He refers to his wife as â€Å"the know of my life”, and, clearly getting emotional, he tells his girls, â€Å"I love you both more than you can imagine” and promises them a new puppy when they move into the White House. He also refers to his grandmother, who had died the night before, which invokes sympathy and appeals to the emotions of those listeni ng and observation him.\r\nTowards the end of his speech, Obama repeats his most famous line, which the crowd has been shouting at him all night, and which sums up his story and message in three words: â€Å"Yes we can.” In my opinion, these words, and the unhurt of Obamas speech, hold a promise of change which America now has a chance of keeping. His words key me hopeful for what lies ahead in the years of Barack Obamas judicature to come.\r\n'
