Analyze the RHETORIC used by Obama in the TWO direct quotation portions of his speech from last night. 

·       What words/phrases is he using for particular effect to drive home his point to his audience? 

·       Who is his intended audience?  What persona is he presenting to his audience? 

·       Why is context significant here?
