Barack Obama Weekly Address: Investing in Clean Energy Future
The speech was about the state of the economy as well as investing in clean energy resources. President Obama presents statistics and real life proof to show that there is progress being made. He also uses reservations to show that he has made an effort to compromise, but more needs to be done besides drilling for oil. He approaches the speech in a semi-casual tone. He remains professional, but he lights up the mood by using the word "stuff." In some ways, this might help Barack acquire a better relationship with his audience. In some ways, it might show that he is not out of touch with the people, and that he is still an everyday American, not some high-minded, snotty-nose politician. Personally, I appreciate how he kept everything very simple but clear. It is not drowned in dramatic hyperbole or complicated terms. He is concise and efficient in the examples he brings in. His words are minimal, which I think is helpful. There is enough logic there to satisfy his audience (unless of course they are out to get him). He presents only what is necessary, which I think is important so that he doesn't end up annoying the audience (being that he does give a speech weekly).
