A Victory For Obama

The article that I found was from www.newsweek.com, and it was based on Pakistan and the war in Afghanistan. The article also discusses Obama performance so far as president. It states in the article that Presisent Obama gets much credit for changing America's image in the world, and that he was probably awarded the noble prize for doing so. The article states that if you asked devoted fans to cite a specific foriegn policy achievements, that they would probably hesistate. The article argues that there is a place where Barack Obama's foreign policy is working, and one that is crucial to Us national security which is Pakistani. The article was brok down in two three different sections, and it was basically three different ways a foriegn policy can be sucessful. Out all of the three case studys the one that stuck out to me was the second one, which was to pursuade. This particular case study was all about how President Obama had invited Indian Prime Minster Mamohan Singh over to his first state dinner. Basically President Obama invited the Prime Minster to dinner to persuade him, and to also re-establish a relationship with him. This example is something like what we discussed in class about rhetoric, and how it is a form or persuasion. President Obama was doing just that when he invited the Prime Minster for dinner. The president used rhetoric when inviting the Prime Minster to dinner, and I'm sure when conversating with him as well.
