Argument based on character, Ethos: A way that Obama made an argument based on character was when he was talking about his senate race in Illinois. His opposition said that he was an abomination to Jesus Christ and that Jesus would not vote for Obama. Although Obama's officials told him not to respond to him. He said that he was not going to let someone talk about his religion like that. He did respond to what his opposition had stated. Obama is trying to show the audience that he is a good person therefore appealing to his character.
Argument based on facts and reason, Logos: A way that Obama made an argument based on facts and reason was when he was saying that Americans are a religious people. He stated that 70% of Americans affiliate with organized religion, 90% believe in God, and 38% call themselves committed Christians. By saying these facts he is showing that Americans are on average religious to some extent. Therefore he is making an argument based on facts and reason.
