Al Gore critizizing Bush's administration

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JE48XHKG64

It was the year of 1992, during the presidential elections period. Al Gore was running with Bill Clinton against Bush. He was opposed to the Iraq’s war. He was trying to show to people why the war was bad for United States.
Al Gore started his speech giving a summary about what he will speak. He criticizes the conductive of the Iraq’s war, giving many examples about Bush’s mistakes. He uses emotional support. He gets inside, in some moments, of people to bring them to his speech and pay attention in what he is saying. He does it when he says that the tax paid for the people are being used to finance the war.
Al Gore is a good speaker. He has good arguments. He made a good research. He is also running for one place at the White House. So, he has the credibility necessary to speak and to have many people who will listen to him and believe in him. He keeps eye contact during almost all the speech. It is a good way to show people that he wants to be there and that he is a believable man.
The problems of Al Gore’s speech are that he uses a lot of examples and he is repetitive. He should not use so many examples because people get tired of what he is saying and he loses his credibility along his speech. The same thing happens with repetition. In the middle of the speech, you think that you already listened what he is saying.
I chose this speech because it was made in 1992 by Al Gore. If Al Gore would run for president nowadays, he could use the same speech with updated information.
