Barack Obama: A More Perfect Union
Barack Obama's speech was the first political speech of this election that I have actually sat down and watched in full. I must say I was impressed. I found Obama to be quite relatable. Obama's tone and vocabulary was that of intelligence and sophistication but he did not overdo it. He connected well with his audience. Also, he managed to create an audience. Obama did not just speak to the African American community , the religious community, the elderly, or the young. He mentioned everyone and connected with everyone. In addition I liked the fact he did not disown or downgrade his pastor. He acknowledged the error of his pastor but stood by him. Obama made the perfect of example of with time everything, including people, change.

You brought up the point that he didn't disown or downgrade his pastor, and that's very true. I'm glad that he didn't do that; it showed that he knows that everyone is human and makes mistakes, and that just because someone makes one mistake does not mean that you should immediately disown them.
I definitly agree that oboma deos a great job at keeping his audence intrested. This is probably the only speech i have sat though as well
