Obama's Speech

Senator Obama gave his speech accepting his nomination for Presidency last Thursday. I believe that the audience he was speaking to was middle class Americans. His speech was aimed at tax cuts, better education for young Americans, and health care. All of these are appealing issues to the middle class people. He often compared himself to the middle class, conveying that he is not just a rich man that had an easy life. He shared his own personal life story to show that was not unlike many of the people who are voting for him. The purpose of his speech was to give insight to what he would do if he became president. To add effect to his speech he touched on important issues such as the war, job opportunities, and creating new jobs geared towards more efficient energy development. He wants to higher the standards in schools. These issues are on any average Americans mind and Obama wanted to prove that he is going to address these issues promptly.
Obama encourages us to look towards the future instead of the past. He believes that now is a time for change in Washington. He supports people in America such as small business owners, working families, teachers, police men and women, and firefighters. He promises to help the people who have lost their jobs and need health care by tax cuts and by supporting the companies who do not ship their work overseas. He says he will go through the federal budget and eliminate the unused programs. Obama made his point by appealing to the people he wanted to vote for him. (The middle class) Knowing health care is a leading issue he says he will provide affordable and access able health care for all Americans. Obama gave a well delivered speech that appealed to all his voters.
