Visual Rhetoric Paragraph

The visual element that grabs my attention first is President Obama sitting in a chair with the camera focused completely on him.  Everything in the background is blurred out, which makes you concentrate on Obama even more.  The background music also captures your attention and makes everything seem a little bit more serious.  The most important point of the video is the choice Americans have to make in the next four months.  He talks about Romney’s plans and how they have already been attempted in the United States.  He then proceeds to tell viewers how he will improve the economy by strengthening the middle class.  The video is mainly focused on Obama himself, so color and style don’t make much of a difference.  The only text included in the video is “The President’s Plan: Strengthen the Middle Class” which he reinforces by explaining how he plans on doing that.  The argument being made is simply that Obama thinks he will do a better job at strengthening the economy than Romney will.  This was made during the presidential campaign and intended for all Americans in order to gain popularity and votes.  The video provides lots of ethos towards President Obama.
