Response to Ann Romney's and Michelle Obama's speeches

First off both speeches were very well written and that is what you should expect from people in their position. Both of the speeches I though possibly lacked in ethos what I really got as far as ethos for both Michelle and Ann was that they have experience, but maybe people in their position that’s all they need to be credible. It’s not like these are two average Americans talking about what it take to run the county well. These lady’s husbands have been around the block a few times per say. So I believe that they themselves as moms and ladies in their position are credible enough. Both Michelle Obama and Ann Romney had a ton of pathos. I think in speeches like this that is the key. If you want voters I think you have to get them on an emotional level. Both of them said things like it is a great country and that they are average Americans just like us I think saying these things hit people on an emotional level because most everyone that is voting, and that is who they are trying to get with these speeches, loves America, also likes living here. Both of the women both talked about their husbands and how much they love them, as well they talked about how their husbands got to the position that they are in because of hard work, not taking the easy way and maybe doing things that we considered “too hard” because it was the right thing to do. What American doesn’t like that? Both women didn’t have too much logos. Ann Romney I know stated that Romney improved unemployment in Massachusetts. It was hard to watch both of these speeches without bias and to take it for what it is without thinking in the back of your mind “that’s total bullshit.” But I do think both of them did present their points very well.
