Obama Inguration Speech Rhetoric

Logos: “In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned.”

Ethos : “My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors”

Pathos: “Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.”
