Obama Calls For Joint Action

This article is about nuclear terrorism and how it has emerged as one of the greatest threats to global security. President Obama called on world leaders "not simply to talk, but to act" to secure or destroy any nuclear materials. Obama addressed this issue at the nuclear security conference and told his fellow leaders that it was time "not simply to make pledges, but to make real progress for the security of our people." Obama continued with "It requires a new mindset that we summon the will, as nations, as partners, to do what this moment in history demands." This message Obama is trying to convey is geared towards any public whether its attentive or unattentive. He is trying to get the message across to a mass audience and is applying it to all individuals. I view this announcement as audience analysis. Obama is trying to reach different audiences (world leaders) and attempting to persuade and inform this audience about what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. He is using his instincts, beliefs, and politics to help create a powerful persuasive bond between him and other world leaders. Obama wants his fellow world leaders to embrace a greater role in relation to this current issue. He is also using his power to influence people that this is the right thing to do and the right steps that need to be taken.
