Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis ucapan-ucapan persuasif yang berfungsi untuk mempengaruhi dan membujuk orang lain untuk memilih Barack Obama dalam pemilihan umum. Penelitian ini fokus pada ucapan-ucapan persuasif yang digunakan oleh Barack Obama ketika beliau menyampaikan pidato kampanyenya di periode pertama (2007-2008) dan di periode kedua (2012). Penulis percaya bahwa sebagian besar pidato kampanye Obama berisi tentang macam-macam tindak tutur yang terkandung dalam ucapan-ucapan persuasif dan juga berhubungan dengan fungsi ucapan persuasif dan teknik persuasif. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan macam-macam tindak tutur (representatif, ekspresif, komisif, direktif, dan deklaratif) yang terkandung dalam ucapan-ucapan persuasif, macam-macam fungsi dari ucapan persuasif (memerintah, meminta, berharap, mensugesti, menyilahkan, membujuk, memohon, mengundang, mendesak, melarang, memberi selamat, mengutuk/bersumpah, meyakinkan, menyatakan, memaksa, dan meminta ijin), dan macam-macam teknik persuasif (rasionalisasi, identifikasi, sugesti, konformiti, kompensasi, subtitusi, dan proyeksi) yang digunakan oleh Obama dalam pidato kampanyenya.
Di dalam pembuatan penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Peneliti menggunakan teori tindak tutur dari Searle (1969) dan teori teknik persuasif dari Keraf (1985). Data diambil dari ucapan-ucapan Barack Obama dalam pidato kampanyenya dalam bentuk teks dan hanya fokus pada ucapan-ucapan persuasif. Penulis mengumpulkan data dengan cara mengindentifikasi dan mengklasifikasikan data-data ke dalam beberapa tabel untuk membuat peneliti lebih mudah mengalisanya. Kemudian, berdasarkan tabel tersebut peneliti mengalisa dan mengidentifikasi kata-kata mana yang bisa dikategorikan sebagai macam-macam tindak tutur yang terkandung dalam ucapan-ucapan persuasif dengan teori Searle, macam-macam fungsi ucapan pesuasif, dan macam-macam teknik persuasif dengan teori Keraf.
Setelah menyelesaikan penelitian, peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa ucapan-ucapan persuasif juga penting bagi seseorang yang mengikuti pemilihan. Karena mereka membutuhkan dukungan dari orang lain untuk mencapai tujuan mereka. Kekuatan dari ucapan persuasif yang paling sering digunakan oleh Barack Obama dalam pidato kampanyenya adalah untuk membuat pendukungnya merasa yakin bahwa dia bisa menjadi seorang pemimpin yang baik untuk Amerika. Jadi, Barack Obama mencoba untuk mempengaruhi pendukungnya untuk memilihnya sebagai presiden Amerika.
