Book excerpt: "Authors David Hirsch and Dan Van Haften show precisely how President Obama's 2011 speeches have the same structure used by Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address (and in virtually all of Lincoln's great speeches). The authors summarize and analyze President Obama's speeches and demonstrate how structure conveys meaning. Hirsch and Van Haften broke "Lincoln's code" regarding how Lincoln wrote his speeches, identifying and explaining this unique structure in Abraham Lincoln and the Structure of Reason (November 2010). Now, they reveal President Obama's use of this same structure and how it is easier to understand, and more straightforward than Lincoln's."--Back cover.
