Week 4 Discussion Question #2

A well known speaker of my choice would have to be The President of the United States. Not because it was the example in the question, but because there isn't many well known speakers that I know today. Obama's strongest characteristics are power and credibility. To me he is not an attractive person but to others he may be. But in terms of power, he is the President of the United States so people are going to listen to him, and earning the spot he's in now put him through the test of winning the audiences attention by making them believe everything he says, and used ethos, pathos and logos to show the crowd his emotional side, his logistics side, and his credibility. His credibility is everything you would imagine it being as the President. He dresses nice, not showing too much skin but not covering his face or hands. He is cleanly shaved and his hair his crisp. He speaks clearly and just fast enough to where you can understand everything he says. Any questions he's asked, he returns the answer involving the question, along with an answer.
