Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express difficult ideas in a straightforward, natural way.
Before becoming President, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer---his two memoirs have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker.
As a lawyer, Obama learned how to make strong, convincing arguments. As a professor, he learned how to explain complex subjects in ways that helped students understand without boring them. As a writer, he learned how to use language to have a powerful influence on his audience.
Secret weapons of Obama
Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times.
Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently making fun of his guests. His opening lines attract the audiences’ attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other.
Making fun of himself: Obama laughs at his past mistakes and is never afraid of showing them to the public.
Obama delivers speeches to audiences large and small. He can make his audiences laugh or cry. His speeches are always thoughtful, well written, and just right for each occasion.

One day I asked her why she practiced so much.Without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want to go to college.The only way I can go is to get a scholarship to save money for our family.I am going to play college basketball.I want to be the best.My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count." Well, I had to give it to her ?she was determined.I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.Every week, she led her school team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms.I walked up and sat down in the cool grass beside her.Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply, "I am just too short." The coach told her that she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team ?much less offered a scholarship —so she should stop dreaming about college.She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.I asked her if she had talked to Father about it yet.She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.They just did not understand the power of a dream.He told her that if she truly wanted a scholar-ship, nothing could stop her except one thing —her own attitude.
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and joined the college team.She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.
