  • What persuasive techniques did he use? If I wanted to simply watch Obama give a speech I would not have done a search on "persuasive techniques".

  • how euphoric they are, they moan, cheer and boo like sheep in a pen. The common man cant look outside of his french fry and this is why we are facing totalitarianism straight in the eye. It will come, only because people have forgotten how to utilize their intellectual faculties.

  • LOL understanding how propaganda works makes me feel sad for the sheeple cheering!

  • Politicians have to get elected, and they have to shoot for what's achievable hence the description of politics as (the art of the possible). Anyone with an open mind and a bit of observation knows that the far right wing has stacked the courts with rightwing fascist judges.The supreme court has just sold you into slavery and you think it's Obama. You are completely upside down. We are very disapointed in the corrupt congress. The absolutely vile republicans are beyond the pale. "Racist fools."

  • If you cant watch and determine which passages of the speech are intended to be persuasive than go and seek more info on the histories of influential people, such as Hitler. And study the ways in which made them great orators of their day. Or read more intelligent inquiry's beyond your scope of comfort or education level.

  • So true

  • his vocal chords. the tone differnces. like singers do in music

  • liar liar liar obama didn't your mom ever tell you where lies take you?

  • President Obama is the beginning of change. He is the starting place. He brings back family, trust, honor and dignity. He is cleverly fighting against bigotry, and racism and moving this country in a direction we can't see for he is fighting at the core of what is wrong. As he is digging out parts of the mountains of poverty, a failing econonmy, and unemployment, he is eliminating policies that created the mess. The world will see it in time; we are heading in the right direction!

  • Look at that puppet herder skillfully manipulating the crowd of sheep. It's both funny and horrifying.
