Speeches on Ann Romney and Michelle Obama

When I saw the two videos of the speeches in English class, I really wasn’t biased. It is easy for me to not choose sides and look at the videos in an analytical sense. Both the speeches by Ann Romney and Michelle Obama were both passionate about what they believe in and for the country that we serve. They should be since they are by the president’s side and they only want what is best for the country. To me though both of them have pathos and some ethos when telling the general public about how much passion they have for the president they are behind. There wasn’t that much logos in both of the speeches, in my opinion. I don’t know if this was supposed to be a speech about passion or for a political point of view. Both these speeches really didn’t talk about the problems we have in the United States, like the financial situation and the health care system. Both of them just talked about passion and I think that is great but to me almost any person running for president is going to have passion for family and the United States. They would not be running for president if they weren’t passionate about it. To me it really doesn’t matter where you grow up and how your background is but what you are going to do for this country and how you aim to try an achieve this and yes passion does help but you need to be able to go through with what you say or at least try.  I think both speeches lost some ethos just because they weren’t the presidents themselves and they weren’t really didn’t talk about the political party itself either. If the point of the speeches were to see how passionate the presidents are than the speeches done their job.  If the speeches were supposed to influence their political view than it really didn’t do that for me.
