    Rowdy up a people and inspire thousands. As Bill Clinton explained in his DNC speech, “I want to nominate a man who’s cool on the outside, but who burns for America on the inside.” Based on the president’s speech, Obama appears to be a “down to earth” individual, one that is still fervent for the success of this country. Between the austere issues of “jobs, the economy, taxes and deficits, energy, education, war and peace” there are comforting and securing concluding sentences, and laughs from the president that lay a blanket of relief among the living crowd. This of course appeals to pathos, but as well as ethological properties.…

    The great minds of PBS documentary workers made the film Divided States of America and published it on TV for viewers to watch January 16 and 17 in 2017. This documentary covers a drastic period of time in America, from the rise of Obama to the rise of Trump. It gives very detailed information about Obama’s time in office and what went his way, and what didn’t go his way. The events Obama faces in this documentary are breathtaking, frankly I barely even knew of any the events that he had to face and the mountains he had to climb to remain president of our country for eight strong years.

    Barrack Hussein Obama, a man so ambitious, that living the American Dream was a mere stepping stone on his way to forging history. Coming from a broken home and of bi-racial heritage, Obama knew that the odds were stacked against him and that hard work would not be enough to reach the ultimate goal. Upon making it to the Senate, immediately set his sights on the Presidency, and in authentic Machiavellian form, he knew that if he could emulate a greater man, not care about breaking promises, that ultimately, the end would justify the means. Barrack Obama will prove once more, that utilizing ancient concepts still works in the modern world. Machiavelli was very clear when he wrote, “A prudent man should always follow in the path trodden by great men and imitate those who are most excellent, so that if he does not attain to their greatness, at any rate, he will get some tinge of it" (Mach).…
