Obama Persuasive Research Paper

Decent Essays
I am a big supporter of Obama and I have always said he believes in the right stuff but stops half way all the time.

Obama is not going to apologize for the America's horrible act that killed more than a 100,000 innocent people including women, children, and babies in an instant. Any person with a moral compass will apologize for killing innocent people even if they have an argument in their favor.

Obama is always trying to please the right wing nut jobs with his half gestures, and they will hate him no matter what. If that is the case then why doesn't he do the right thing and not stop half way?

Obama should apologize for the America's blunder that killed scores in an instant. Otherwise, the speech he is going to deliver in Hiroshima

    President Obama delivered the eulogy at Rev. Clementa Pinckney’s funeral. Throughout the entire speech, the President had patterns within his delivery such as pauses at critical moments and the rise and fall in vocal patterns. He would pause after speaking about God as well as forgiveness, as if to allow the audience to reflect on his words. Major patterns in the message included references to biblical stories, God, the idea of forgiveness needing to be directed towards the attacker, and giving grace. Prior to listening to the eulogy, I had read articles about the attack that happened at the church.…

    According the United Nations Charter chapter VII: Actions with respects to threats to the peace, breaches of peace, and acts of aggression A nation has the right to defend themselves from acts of aggression. Article 51 states” Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security” (2017). This gives the president of the United States of America the right to defend our country against any further attacks by the parties that claimed responsibility for those actions on 9-11. By utilizing the charter of the United Nations and the backing of our own government president Obama could defend our nation in a legal manner and in the good graces of the UN.

    Jeremiads have been around for thousands of years. This rhetorical strategy is named after the prophet Jeremiah, who prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem because Israelites turned their backs on the Lord and were worshipping false idols. A jeremiad is a sermon, speech, visual text, or essay that unifies people by creating tension between an ideal social life and its manifestation (Aufses). A traditional jeremiad presents a spiritual or biblical ideal for specific behaviors. It then describes the way an individual or community has fallen from the standards and provides a vision for an ideal public life that will result from a return to the high standards that have been presented (Aufses).…

    Apologizing is usually what a person would do if they have done something wrong, or if they have personally hurt another individual. However, sometimes an apology is given when it is something that people have done in the past. There have been so many wrongs in the past that some people still feel the need to be apologizing for them, and some people still feel they are owed an apology from the governments of the involved countries. In “A Sorry State”, Mitch Miyagawa discusses the many apologies that have been given out by governments around the world and what those apologies truly accomplish. There has been an apology given for every war, every case of discrimination, and every misguided choice.…

    While President Obama is giving his speech at Michigan’s graduation ceremony he starts off by trying to relate to the American people by having to do normal everyday things like commuting in traffic. Obama also wants to connect with the American public by telling them that he reads their letters every day to show them that he is a part of them and not in control of them. He has a progressive mentality when opening up his speech. He is reaching out to the hearts and minds of the average person by telling a heartwarming story about a kid in kindergarten and asking him if people are nice to him. When Obama says “there are some things that we can only do together, as a nation- and that our government must keep pace with the times” I believe that…

    BARACK OBAMA Does Obama lie to people of the USA? INTRODUCTION: “Absolute power causes absolute corruption” in the way Obama is leading this phrase relates so much to our president with all the lies and fake promises that he has said to the people. He has a big problem with lying to people and he does not tell the truth often. When Obama tells the truth it's not what most or more than half of the people in the world want to hear. I believe Obama tries to say stuff to the people or voters to get them to fall into his word instead of what he really means.…

    Obamas speech was calculated and structured with many rhetorical strategies playing to his favor, so that his overall message was easily communicated, and both viewers and possible voters were able to understand and connect with his ideas. Two rhetorical strategies that seemed to aide his speech the most were the use of pathos and repetition. His reasoning for choosing these were probably due to the fact that this was his first speech as an official presidential candidate, and he wanted to be persuasive and precise on exactly what the forefront of his campaign was about and what he plans to do if elected. Where pathos appeals to ones emotion, it allows for a connection on a more personal level, which ultimately would further a greater sense of purpose or reason to get involved in what could be done. Obama said, “Beneath all the differences of race…
