How does obama in this speech persuade people to believe in him and follow him?

He persuades people in his speech very well. He talks about how he as a president recognizes the challenges that we as a country face. He then goes on to talk about unity, and the american dream and how working hard will pay off. He mentions how even the founding fathers had to deal with problems, and that america is great, and will rise from these challenges. He finishes by gathering up what he has said about challenges and hard work, and reminds us that hope is one thing that we need to believe in.
