Watch the video below and answer these questions in your notepads:
1. True to his profession, Gingrich is making a campaign pledge (promise) which he may have difficulty keeping. Compare this little speech with Kennedy's half a century earlier. Kennedy actually kept his promise (incredibly). Do you think Gingrich will, too?
2. Some might say to appreciate rhetoric like this, you have to be American. In what ways does this speech appeal to Americans' sense of patriotism (give three examples)?
3. Watch the beginning of the video again. When does Gingrich say he will make this project a reality? In what way is this presumptuous?
4. Is this guy a true visionary like Kennedy or is he just full of hot air?
