-Barack Obama's first speech as the 44th U.S. President:

In my opinion, both of these speeches/videos are examples of "good" rhetoric because they were influential in our history as a country. George Bush's speech resonates with me personally because his speech was about a very emotional and tragic event that no one will forget. Obama's speech is also very important because it was his very first speech as the first "ethnic" President of the United States, also a very memorable time in history.
