The debate on October 3, 2012, President Barak Obama and candidate Mitt Romney held a heated match over several main issues that dealt with economic policies. Both candidates had a subject to attack the other with but in the end Mitt Romney’s performance against Obamas was aggressive and strong. The debate seemed intense at certain points by cutting moderator Jim Lehrer off, to cutting each other off. Romney’s aggressive tone made it assertive of what he wanted to say and very believable of what he was saying. The candidates had many stats to back up each position they stated, but their main goal was to appeal to the audience and aim to tell them of the plans that would boost the growth of jobs and the economy.
Should presidential candidates stick to positive campaigning and discuss issues or engage in negative campaigning and smear each other? The political world now and days has become very corrupted. Instead of trying to highlight where each presidential candidate stands on issues that are happening now, people are focusing on things in the past. I believe no one is perfect and candidates are no different than regular people. The political world needs to put emphasis on the issues that not only the United States is facing but that the whole world is facing as well.
My rhetorical analysis essay of the inaugation of president Obama In the 2013 inauguration of President Obama, the citizens of America were addressed as well as distinguished guest. President Obama addressed the nation to let citizens know that we are strong as a group. As long as the citizens of the United States come together anything is possible. The main purpose of Obama’s speech is to let Americans know what president Obama has already accomplished in his first term. President Obama provided examples by letting the audience know that a decade of war is now ending.

A lot is shown in this image. It’s obvious that the image is showing “Obama”, and his wife “Michele Obama”, but if you really analyze the picture, then you’ll see that Obama is taking the oath, but also showing that his words were changed around because he did endure in a slight case of stage fright as he messed his words up during his inauguration. As you look at Michele Obama, you’ll notice that she is reading a newspaper that says “Recession”, and “Middle East Fighting”, with a concerned facial expression. Every visual rhetoric image has an intended audience, and purpose. These images are created to attract a specific audience whether it is athletes, politicians, chefs, etc.
Leadership Transformational-charismatic Before the election, President Barack Obama attracted the attention of American's and foreigners alike with a seemingly charismatic nature. A charismatic leader has an uncanny ability to draw others to his side and move them to accomplish a cause bigger than themselves. A charismatic approach is transformational if it invokes a permanent change in the people who embrace the leader's vision. During his first term, President Obama wooed at least some to his vision by showing the potential to make a huge difference in both domestic and foreign affairs. Cross-Cultural-Global Leadership Under the Bush Administration, America's image lost much of its shine.
When I was watching Romney’s debates, he was talking about “Obamacare” is not good idea and his one could be better, but I agreed to what Obama had to say and he had some strong moments, particularly when he criticized Romney's plan to turn Medicare into a voucher-like program and noted that "Romneycare" looks an awful lot like "Obamacare." I agree with the President Obama that he's not only thinking about now he is thinking about future. Us students who need good teachers and good technology - without these things we cannot succeed. People should remember what reality is and think practically. They just cannot come and tell that they will cut taxes and provide cheap healthcare programme for
THE RHETORICAL FAILURE OF JIMMY CARTER AS PRESIDENT: An Analysis of the impact Carter’s inaugural discourse had on his presidency Alexandra Eichner January 5th, 2009 Professor Eisenhower Communications 395 INTRODUCTION: Every occasion in which the President speaks directly to his people is an occasion to be remembered, as it is these moments that define the rhetoric of the presidency. It is difficult to articulate the power of presidential rhetoric, and the subsequent impact that discourse can have on effective presidential leadership. However, the title of Campbell and Jamieson’s book, “Presidents Creating the Presidency: Deeds Done in Words,” offers some meaningful insight into the power of presidential discourse. Accordingly, this paper will attempt to use the presidential inaugural address as a concrete example firstly, of how a president uses words to create his presidency, and secondly, of how instrumental those words can be in determining the success or failure of a president. More specifically, this paper will examine the rhetoric of President Jimmy Carter, and the effect his discourse ultimately had on his time in the White House.

Kyle Orciuch Mrs. Karotkki English 8-6 9 Sept. 2013 The Head of State Being the President of the United States is not an easy task. Our current President, Barrack Hussein Obama, for example, has hundreds of issues thrown at him every day, animosity from opposing politicians, and has to meet stringent expectations from the people who elected him. As one can see, any leader needs to have certain qualities that allow him to effectively and diplomatically identify and solve problems. Recently, I was asked about my outlook on the kind of leader I would be if I were the President of the United States and what policies I would implement. I have never even dreamed of being President because of all the heavy burdens that come with the job.
