hi everybody!
Since I wasn't in contact with you, I've just decided to do my task about Obama. Let me know if you want me to change...
I watched several videos about Obama in YouTube and I identified some key words and key expressions.
The most important word in Obama’s campaign is “change”. He always says “yes, we can”. At the end of his speeches he proclaims: “we say, we hope, we believe: yes, we can”.
This political slogan is very recurring and has a great impact on the audience because of the pronoun “we”. “We” means: you and me, Obama; like a sort of political agreement between a politician and common people. Obama always refers directly to his audience: “I’ve spoken with you”; “many of you shares with me”; “I believe in you”; “we want a new course for this country”. The slogan “yes we can” becomes a concrete concept in his speeches: he says he wants to change politics. But again he proclaims “it comes from you”. Thanks to these expressions he makes people feel involved in the building of a new country based on a new concept of politics.

Even if he seems quite calm, he knows how to be ironic and polemic. For example he has a very intransigent attitude towards the war in Irak. I think he is very clever and he knows how to provoke people’s reactions. He has a sort of double attitude: he is kind and well educated but at the same time he is very intransigent and firm.
Finally, I'd like to point out the informality of his attitude towards the audience. The implicit message is: if you want to change politics, choose me because I am a common man like you.
Surfing the net I watched some videos against Obama... it would be interesting to do a crossed analysis using all the materials - pros and against.
Stefania!
