After watching the debate on wednesday in class, I decided to look at another speech and see what the speaker used to appeal to his audience. In class, many of the potential canididates used all three different methods being; ethos, pathos, and logos. In the article, "Obama calls for passage of financial reform", it explains Obama defending the country's bailout of the auto industry last year. Throughout this speech I believe he mainly uses logos as a way to appeal to the audience. Here is one example used throughout the article and his speech that portrays logos, "On Friday…the Treasury Department informed Congress that this financial rescue – which was absolutely necessary to prevent an even worse economic disaster – will end up costing taxpayers a fraction of what was originally feared.” Obama here is using logic to explain that if he had not rescued the auto industry, there would have been worse results. Throughout the speech he also uses pathos by appealing to the audience emotionally. Obama states, “I once again called for reforms to hold Wall Street accountable and to protect consumers.” By explaining that he wants to protect customers, this will help appeal to the audience. Overall, Obama uses both methods, to make his point and explain his past actions.
