We all love Barack Obama's enchanting voice that he uses in all of his speeches. His speeches contain different subject matter, but they're are all connected in some way. As tradition serves, all presidents give speeches about similar subject matter. History changes though. Barack Obama uses the word nation a lot, which makes sense...because we live in a nation. I found it interesting that every single president from 1973 until president has used the word America the most. I wonder why in years prior they didn't use the word.
George W. Bush used the word freedom 27 times. I believe it was because he sent so many troops to Iraq and the word freedom was his way of convincing the nation that we were okay. We're we really okay though?
I like this and have to agree about the freedom part! I wrote my piece about freedom also, it's hard to define freedom but when our country is in need of a pick me up I think many politicians throw it around to make us feel better. "We live in a free country and we're doing alright!" That's not always the case though!
