When you read both candidates' arguments you can see both are very strong. But You would think one would have a better approach right? When I first read both candidates' arguments I noticed how they’re both similar but each of them added their own beliefs in their approaches. I believe that Chisholm's Speech had a better argument than Obama’s. In Chisholm's speech, she spoke about how she believed that we Americans can do better with each other and that she knows that to show leadership you shouldn't use violence, force, or intimidation.

Obama's speech was also just as good, however, his topic was kept on the American promise while Chisholm spoke on how she believes American citizens are more than capable to know who can and cannot help build a safe future for all.

But to use persuasion, example, and law. She explained in her speech “I do not believe that in 1972 the great majority of Americans will continue to harbor such narrow and petty prejudice.” When I read this to me that means she hopes in the earlier or future years she hopes people will not let someone create laws that are hostile towards the citizens. In her speech, she talks about how she believes we know the difference between what's wrong and right; and how she would show and help us have a better future, without being influenced by violence but other than by example and law. I truly love Shirley Chisholm’s speech because she doesn’t have a forceful tone when speaking and her words to me are very powerful and optimistic. She explained in her speech that even if they were to vote for her it wouldn't change the perspective of the fact she's still one of us. She isn't higher or better, she's still a citizen who's helping create a better environment for us
