  • Analysis Of Obama's 'Go ! Be A Superhero'

    863 Words  | 2 Pages

    The whole article compilation, "44 on 44" by Hooper, Sanchez, and Simanga is exclusively African Americans writing about Obama's election. Therefore, these people would definitely view Obama as some kind of hero and his election a momentous point in history. Muhammad, the boy in Simms' article, saw Obama as a superhero: "Obama as Superhero spoke to Muhammad in a language that was familiar" (11). This boy looks up to the newly elected president so much, but with his struggles as a kid - with little practical jokes played on him and more serious accusations thrown at him - anyone would see Obama as a superhero. One poem by Walker called "Obama Shuffle" thanks people for standing in line to the voting booth, with a reference to African American's past: "chained together" (20). Walker states metaphorically that the years of torture and slavery brought upon the African Americans earlier in history were undone by Obama's inauguration - that is the kind of joy that he feels towards Obama being elected. Trethewey in "Another Country" writes about her mom's troubles in the 1960s due to her marriage to a white man. She mentions how thrilled her mom would be if she was still alive and saw an African American man be elected as president (58). She is saying that since her mom went through a rough couple of decades she would be more appreciative of a black president than other people would. All of these writers feel that simply

And with great credence and rhetoric, he did. The soon to be president, and also the first African American man to be president, first sets grounds for his speech by inserting himself into the context of the racial history of America, creating the modern-day setting of a war that is centuries in age. He then appealed to pathos by bringing light to his audience with examples of racial corruption and inequality to highlight the huge need for unity and change. And finally, he capitalized on these sentiments by appealing to ethos to advocate methods of change. With the great success of this historic and rhetorical speech, Obama assumed a new podium in November of that same exact year, but this time, to accept his election as the President of the United

    Ask people how they felt at the end of the Bush Presidency and then juxtapose that with Obama's final year -- "YOOJ" difference! That being said, Obama is a Republican in Democrat clothing (by his own admission, Nixon is more liberal than him), the positive changes under his administration have been marginal due to corporate influence, Conservative obstructionism, and the disintegration of progressives in the Democratic party. Only a true progressive, like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, will implement the sweeping changes that can/will drive the economy towards prosperity. Middle class Americans spend most, if not all of their income (in some cases, more than their income), while the one-percent
