Obama's Victory speech was shorter, but in my opinion, just as brilliant as his acceptance speech. Just as in his other speech, he spoke with clarity, calmness and emotion. Also, he thanked many people, including Joe Biden, his family, as well as the entire nation. He said "But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you." Also like his acceptance speech, he used inclusion to great effect. He also uses repitition in both speeches, as well as alliterations. In both speeches, he also uses rhetorical climax to great effect, really getting the crowd into it. An excellent example is the following:
"Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope. "
He used these rhetorical devices to great effect and really got his ideas and messages accross, capturing the audience in his words. He is an amazing speaker.
