On November 5th, only a day before the 2012 election, former President Bill Clinton spoke at pro-Obama rally at Montgomery County Community College in Pennsylvania. In this portion of the speech, appropriately titled "the future", Clinton discussed how President Obama is the right choice in this election by describing the president's past actions and how they will positively affect students and the middle class. For example, he described a program going into effect next year that will have students pay a low, fixed student loan rate off of their income.
As many Americans know right now, the United States is going through tough times. The economy is recovering at a sluggish rate, the number of Americans on food stamps or welfare is increasing, and students are graduating from college into an environment with 7.9% unemployment. Considering these times, former President Clinton spoke for his audience of young people and students to inspire and connect with Montgomery County citizens and to encourage them to vote for President Obama on Election Day.
Two prominent rhetorical elements President Clinton used in his speech were logos and pathos. He used logos by sharing irrefutable facts to express his point and pathos by connecting to the people living in that area and talking about the Community College itself: "What works is what works here... We have a lot of cooperation at the community college, do you like that?... [Obama] has invested in the finest student loan reform in my lifetime."
Former President Bill Clinton accomplished his purpose successfully through this speech because he made his audience energetic and enthusiastic. Also, he implemented Obama's name behind each of the successes in this country, which led the audience to respond in a very confident, positive manner.
