RI Dem: Obama can 'shove it' for not endorsing Me
By MICHELLE R. SMITH, Associated Press Writer
For my blog post, I decided to be different and use BET as news source. http://www.bet.com/News/NationalRIDemObamaCanShoveItForNotEndorsingMe.htm
I believe this article used forms of persuasion with Ethos being a big part of it.
Ethos is an appeal to the authority or honesty of the speaker. It is how well the speaker convinces the audience that he or she is qualified to speak on the particular subject. Ethos is involved with this article becaause they use President Barack Obama has a notable figure, and with him stating his opinion could persuade voters to vote another way. Rhode Island Democratic Frank Caprio's told reporters that he would welcome the president's endorsement, but since then Obama made his decision that he would would endorse no one, Caprio told WPRO-AM in an angry way that Obama can "take his endorsement and really shove it." Obama chose not to endorse Caprio because his opponenet, independent candidate Lincoln Chafee, who was a onetime Republican, endorsed Obama in 2008 while running for presidency in against John Maccain.
