Week 4 Question 2

I'm going to just continue with speaking about Barack Obama since he is a perfect example of what it means to be a good speaker. He displays all three characteristics of a good speaker; credibility, attractiveness and power. When Obama speaks, he speaks with confidence in his words, thus creating his audience to then have confidence in him. People honestly and truly believe in Barack Obama and how he can be a leader for this country. He is attractive to the American people because they feel they can relate to him, which then builds trust. And lastly, he brings the characteristic of power. Not only is he the president, but he has the resources and opportunities to back up what he says and changes people's lives.
