Sample Analysis of a Speech Excerpt - Obama's Concession Speech

I just noticed an excellent example of what I would like you all to do for the blog contribution assignment on one of my favorite presentational speaking blogs - The Presentation Zen.

The post analyzes Obama's concession speech after the results of the New Hampshire primaries had come in. Notice how it takes one rhetorical element - repetition (one of the course concepts we will cover this semester) - and examines an entire speech segment in light of that element. That's exactly what I would like to see you do with your blog contributions:

1. Keep your eyes open for interesting speeches to analyze
2. Pick a new course concept and examine the speech in light of that concept
3. Embed the video, or link to it in your blog post/analysis
