In the wake of the March 4th primaries, Senator John McCain of Arizona has officially edged out former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee for the Republican Party’s 2008 presidential nomination. The Democrats’ fate, on the other hand, remains uncertain, as Senator Hillary Clinton’s chances have been revived by victories in Ohio and Texas. However, the delegate math still favors Barack Obama, the junior Senator from Illinois.

The North Vietnamese offered to release him, but McCain refused to leave without his fellow soldiers.
James Marcellus Professor West Critical Thinking Argumentative Project Part III When first elected in 2008, Barack Obama made what was a dream for so many African-Americans across the globe, a reality by becoming the first African-American President in the history of the United States. Along with his election, he brought excitement and what so many blacks called “hope” for the world and specifically the black community.

Obama supports and contributes to the growth of the homosexual community, which is where HIV and STD’s are most prevalent amongst blacks.
The 16th president was a brave-hearted lion that persisted its way through any hardships that it encountered. Being born into a time when blacks were property and two sides of the same country looked at each other with ire was enough pressure for Lincoln to reveal his abilities by attaining the presidential office. This Illinois native who was known as honest and tall--both figuratively and literally--would form a united house, but would only be recognized after his mourned death. Not everyone in the 19th century had the same mindset as our beloved Lincoln. In fact half of the country was displeased at his victory in the Presidential election.

As an incredibly historical day all over the world, no matter a person’s race, religion, or political status, today, January 20th, 2009 has emerged to be one major topic for years, in many discussions. A handsome man by the name of Barrack Obama becomes the very first African American to hold the office as President of the U.S.A. Times are changing; some would say for the better, others would say for the worse. Over the past few years people have grown to see despair in America and elsewhere in the world. Perhaps a little naively, the country is simply grasping for any change right now, hoping that this charismatic, new, young, president will be the “knight in shining armor,” able to achieve the impossible and create a miracle.

English 1010 27 September 2013 Rhetorical Analysis of Speeches Democrat Barack Obama is running for his second term as President of the United States and in this convention, he is accepting the presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention, as well as addressing the nation on the plans he has towards changing our future. In contrast, Republican Mitt Romney is appealing to the public about the issues he plans to address during his first term as president if he is ultimately elected at the Republican National Convention. In the comparison of these two presidential candidates, it is evident that both parties utilize the rhetorical devices ethos, pathos, logos and fallacies in their campaign speeches to persuade their audiences to vote in their favor. Current President Barack Obama uses each of the rhetorical devices effectively in persuading his audience. His use of ethos show his dependability and knowledge of the things that are causing such stress in America.
