Rhetorical quotes of Barack Obama's Acceptance Speech

"A little bit earlier this evening, I revieved an extraordinarily graceous call from Senator Mccain. Senator Mccain fought long and hard in this campaign, and he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. "  Seriously, he is doing that to make his public like him more, but on McCain's side, he probably called to not be a bad loser. They are both playing with people's emotions, using pathos to convince people that one is a good loser, and the other says that so people feel he is not a mean person. 

"But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years, block by block, brick by brick..." Here, senator Obama uses deliberate rhetoric, by saying that he promises on listening to the people and a bunch of other promises. We all know it is to make people fell confident about who they voted for, because many promises are said, but not all are kept. 

"...and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were." Here, he is not saying any promises or anything. He uses the technique of forensic rhetoric, from the past. He blames the past presidents (In an indirect manner) by not knowing how to rule the country properly. 

"It cannot happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice, so let us summit a new spirit." I can't really detect which of these two it is, because they might be both. He can be using deliberate rhetoric, because he is using the future, but as well, pathos, because he is playing with people's emotions. It might be true that the people are needed to CHANGE, but he does say it in a way that people feel they are really needed. 

"Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party of the White House. A party founded on the values of..." This is also a strange quote, because as Aristotle said, Values are of the present, and blame of the past. Obama is not blaming the Republican Party, but we cannot look at this rhetorically, because the values are not used in the present, as formal rhgetoric implies. 

Concluding, I saw that Obama uses a lot types of rhetoric. He thanks people and his campaign workers and so he uses forensic. He promises many things, using deliberate rhetoric, and pathos, using people's emotions to grow confidence on them of their next president. By using past, he blames a few things, and by using future, he makes choices.
