Our group chose to mock Barack Obama's speech. He tries repeatedly to connect with the audience (mostly democrats but also a tv audience of republicans) by talking about all tthe different people who came out to vote. He talks about how this was the highest turnout in voter history. This logos fact also builds ethos showing that he really was elected by a large voter count. Obviously he thanked all of the people who had got him this far, as well as discuss the loss of McCain. This is more Ethos building. He discusses the pressing issues we face, and his plans against those (although vague plans) struggles.
Specifically he talks about our current financial crisis and our war. He gives us a good felling that he will handle these struggles absolutely. This again is Ethos building. He uses the word "change". This is an effective pathos building tactic. His we did it mentality and speech does much to draw him closer to the crowd(which is in love with him.)
Overall he did well rallying the spirits and saying his ideas. He builds ethos throughout and at the same time excites passion within his audience. Although he might make a few people mad he does a great job at attempting to include us all.

Yea, I think he did a great job talking about how he will try to do his best to be everyone's president no matter if he had your vote or not.
His ethos and logos plays very well in speech and really hits the crowd hard. I didnt vote for him, but I did get a good feeling when I heard this speech.
