He was the son of divorced parents. He lived with his mother in the beginning of his life, and then moved in with his grandparents for the rest.

So you can pick the best candidate for the job, you must compare each one.

I am going to look at a speech and essay from both John McCain and Barack Obama.

Both McCain and Obama did a speech

The rhetoric used here was ethos.

He uses actually numbers.

he does use a lot of logic.

By comparing all the speeches and essays rhetorically of both McCain and Obama, you could decide on a winner.

I have only compared one of each on the candidates.

you must examine and analyze the rhetorical strategies used by each candidate.

Also, he appeals to the veryday people with comments like that on his website that say, “I’m asking you to believe, not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington… I’m asking you to believe in yours.”

Also, there is John McCain who has been around the presidential election process before. He has ran for President before and did not make it past primary elections. He was a part of the U.S. House of Represenatives for Arizona in 1982, and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986. He is someone who has been around the hustle and bustle of the Washington lifestyle. He is someone who, it would be thought, would be ready for the highest position in our country. His platform has included helping out our economy and ensuring our national security. He wants to get health care costs down to a price that is reasonable for all people. One thing that McCain differs from Obama on is the issue of Iraq. McCain believes we need to assist Iraq in becoming a prosperous country on its own, before we can back out and leave them alone.

McCain’s written rhetoric can be seen on his website where he describes how he plans to change our country. His main ideas and what he stands for are clear to see there. It says “Country First: Reform, Prosperity, Peace.”

Each candidate uses rhetoric to appeal to their potential voters. They both use Pathos to appeal to their audiences. They appeal to the middle class by promising a change in the way they have lived their lives, by lowering taxes and getting more affordable healthcare. Obama appeals to the minorities saying that it is their time to take a stand and get out and vote, telling them that they can make a difference. Ethos is a big part of politics, because if we have no confidence in what they have stood for in the past how can we back them now. A person’s reputation is key in politics, especially in the Presidential election. This is the time when scandals become forefront, because each party is trying to discredit the other. If we aren’t confident in the person how can we be confident in the policies. Logos is used, although I’m not sure always effectively. Politicians use logic to appeal to people saying how things in our country are now and how they believe they can change them in the future. For instance, logically if we are in a state of economic crisis we want someone who plans to change that for the better.

McCain’s reliance on factual examples to persuade the reader makes logos the primary form of rhetoric present in the op-ed.

form

It’s apparent from the very beginning that ethos is the major form of rhetoric being used in the speech. 

Like John McCain, Obama expressed his opinion on the war in Iraq and explained how he would deal with the issue if he were elected President, and again like McCain; the article included a great deal of factual information.

Because Senator Obama’s article relies mainly on factual information as a means to persuade the viewer, logos is the primary form of rhetoric present.

disprove any untrue statements made by the Republican candidate’s party

Hopefully the analysis of the usage of rhetoric will allow for individuals to have a better understanding of the presidential candidates, and will be able to make an accurate decision in November.  

Works Cited

McCain uses little factual information and a great deal of hypothetical situations in order to persuade his audience.

Again, there is no factual basis to support the Senator’s claims.
