A Rhetorical Analysis Of Obama Speech On 9/11

Decent Essays
With President Obama about to address the UN on Tuesday, even if every New Yorker, and every American knows it already, the last thing he would ever say in front of his UN enablers was that the NYC bomber was a terrorist.

President Obama had a spring in his step all week knowing his plan to use his final UN speech Tuesday was going to secure his reputation as a United Nations Mans Man, for having the cojones to put Globalism First and America Second.

Obama was giddy seeing himself saunter up to the UN podium and crow about forcing America to take in a record number of refugees, and blasting that sexist, racist Donald Trump for daring to put America First.

Obama, knowing the eyes of the world was on him would then go into what would have amounted to a stump

How dare he try to keep America safe, proving Trump know how to play the game by UN rules?

But Obama's plan went to hell, like so many of his terrorist bombers brethren have done.

With radical Islamic terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New Jersey and New York, Obama will now be forced to turn down the rhetoric. Of course he will still attack Trump, of course he will still say Hillary's and his catchphrase "Islam is a peaceful Religion" but what he has lost is his speech having any impact on the American people or this Presidential Election.

Not helping Hillary's cause of pretending to be tougher on terror than Trump, is that "never will be Rudy Guilliani," NYC Mayor de Blasio.

de Blasio, who is in a neck and neck race to see who will wind up in prison first him or Hillary, first tried to tell New Yorkers that the bomb that just went BOOM! was maybe... quite possibly... and may never will be called the dreaded B word, but more of a politically correct "device," after-all why hurt all the other bombs feelings that haven't gone off

    “(We have) more to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her, who has the grades, has the drive, has the will, but doesn’t have the money to go to college (Obama, para 6).” Interestingly, he follows this statement with an attempt to dissatisfy one of the commonplace arguments against liberal policies. Mr. Obama says that these people do not ‘expect that government will solve all of their problems,’ but that they are willing to work hard in order to achieve their dreams. This seems to solidify Obama’s ethos with the audience, especially when combined with the specific scenarios that he uses to exemplify the need for his policies. The middle section of the speech is dedicated to the 2004 Presidential Election.…

    Barrack Obama’s speech “Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation Syria” and Vladimir Putin’s op-ed, “A Plea for Caution From Russia”, in September of 2011 address the issue of chemical weapon usage in Syria. Obama’s speech looks at alternative solutions rather than slipping into a War; while Putin’s op-ed was made in reply to Obama’s, he requests a need for complete caution on any decision made. “Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation Syria” is more likely to address a country and the world in a more inviting way over “A Plead for Caution From Russia” due to the diction and control Obama presented in a time of distress. Barack Obama in the speech “Remarks by the President in Address to the Nation Syria” persuades his audience, the United States and the rest of the world, by showing the power he has in the situation…

    The tone throughout the speeches can also be attributed to the time the speeches were given, as well as the strategy used to cope and respond to the attacks. Bush used the words terror, terrorists, and attacks a lot to emphasize the conflict with Islamic extremists, while Obama used words such as families, lives, and lost to emphasize unity and hope for the future. Bush promised “to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.” (http://cbcpp.com/202/readings/middle_east_reading.pdf).…

    Obamas speech was calculated and structured with many rhetorical strategies playing to his favor, so that his overall message was easily communicated, and both viewers and possible voters were able to understand and connect with his ideas. Two rhetorical strategies that seemed to aide his speech the most were the use of pathos and repetition. His reasoning for choosing these were probably due to the fact that this was his first speech as an official presidential candidate, and he wanted to be persuasive and precise on exactly what the forefront of his campaign was about and what he plans to do if elected. Where pathos appeals to ones emotion, it allows for a connection on a more personal level, which ultimately would further a greater sense of purpose or reason to get involved in what could be done. Obama said, “Beneath all the differences of race…
