Obama vs. Romney- Rhetorical Strategies

1. Obama begs the question when he completely avoids the question and starts talking about something else.
2.Obama uses juxtaposition when he brings education in at a random time to make his argument seem better.
3. Obama uses accumulation as he twists Romney's argument into sounding bad.
4. Obama uses the same hand gestures the whole debate, he puts his hands in a square shape to describe everything.
5. Obama uses allusion in ways including bringing up Clinton and other examples.
6.Romney has an organized list which is called an enumerate.
7. Romney compares obama to his lying young sons.
8. Romney uses logic by basing his argument in the constitution and the declaration of independence.
9. Romney backs up his arguments with a successful example of Massachusetts which is called an exemplum.
10. Romney uses allusion when he talks about compromise like when the founding fathers came together and used compromise to create this country.
