Read the following excerpt from the final 2012 US Presidential Debate between President Barack Obama and his opposing candidate Mitt Romney. Identify three logical/rhetorical errors used by the candidates and explain what type of fallacy each one is.

1. You indicated that we shouldn't  be passing nuclear treaties with Russia despite the fact that 71 senators, Democrats and  Republicans, voted for it.

2. Attacking me is not talking about how we're going to deal  with the challenges that exist in the Middle East, and take advantage of the opportunity  there, and stem the tide of this violence.

3. Iran is the greatest national security threat we face. Russia does continue to  battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this.

Explanation:

1. Romney could not back this up with logical evidence

2. Romney brings himself into the question following terrorism in the US.

3.  This is highly inaccurate, Russia was a threat during this time (and still is) and Romney is simply focusing on Iran to save himself from what he previously stated.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
