Vice President Joe Biden
Myia Sullivan

The demographics this argument targets the any law-abiding citizen who is able to vote especially those who voted for Obama and Democrat party. Tom Purcell is column writer known for his ability to write humor that builds rapport with his readers. He approaches issues with common sense that always have a thoughtful underlying point whether it be from real life story telling or politics. His intend was to bring hindful information he thought was very important in regards to a person who publicizes to the media about running for president but doesn’t pose as a good candidate. At the beginning of the column Tom (2013) cleary states, “Maybe he’s just what America needs. Then again, maybe not”, showing distinctively disagrees with something the vice president is doing. Secondly in the column he compares the vice president to other presidents and how they use humor.

The actual event took place at a party for the President’s second inauguration were Vice President Joe Biden unintentionally promoted himself telling a group of people from Iowa he was proud to be president of United States. When he tried to correct himself, the crowd began laughing and applauding. Biden ended up chuckling to himself. As stated by Pittsburgh columnist Tom Purcell, “he is “intoxicated” by his own thoughts of being the inaugurated President in 2017”(Purcell, 2013). Running for President isn’t something new for Biden he tried out for Democrat nomination in 1998 and 2008 but ended up dropping out early.

The purpose of this visual argument is to bring attention to the public’s eye that Vice President Joe Biden has a good chance of becoming our new president in 2016 but some view him as not a good prospect due to his comical humor. According to USATODAY Michael Dimock comments: And all the jokes about his verbal gaffes may contribute to a perception that he's not a serious person, It's not an "unrecoverable" situation, but turning around public opinion could be

    “I don't know Mr. Trump. But I've been chagrined at his antics. He ridiculed a war hero. He made mockery of a reporter's menstrual cycle. He made fun of a disabled reporter,” said Lucado in his blog. “… These were not off-line, backstage, overheard, not-to-be-repeated comments. They were publicly and intentionally…

    Just yesterday, I was scrolling through the channels and ended up watching CNN. A segment on Barack Obama was playing. While a woman interviewed a harassed-looking hair salon owner about who she would vote for in the coming caucus, a clip of Obama played in the background. He smiled and waved and kissed babies, looking immaculate all the while. He is half black and running for president! He embraces all races and genders and will make the world a better place and knows exactly where you’re coming from, really, because he’s just like you. He even acknowledged his past drug use. "Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man." (Washington Post) By rising above it, he showed everyone that he was strong and capable. Barack Obama proved to everyone that he was human too, that he rose above the stereotypes and struggles of his childhood—and cast himself perfectly into the political mold. Similar to Eric Liu’s Notes of a Native Speaker, Obama has made himself into an “honorary white” who everyone loves and can relate…

    They argue about how easy it is to be president when all they ask for is you have to be thirty five years old and have resided in the U.S. at least fourteen years. A group of boy scouts say the president didn’t have to be a boy scout when he was younger but should promise to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Our next president could have been in a gang or committed some type of crime and they would still win the president election. The citizens want someone who will be role model to all ages and prove by his/her actions, not just words. “This article may be about the ideal qualities we want in a president, but most of all, if you read between the lines, it’s really about the ideal qualities we want in ourselves” (p105). Arturo statement is true because we all want to be perfect but we all mistakes and so will the president, but at least there’s one person who will have all the qualities that we need to run the U.S. This one argument I strongly agree with from the beginning all the way to the end with the written Constitution Café Article. A president should give their full duty to our country and of course believe in…

    In today’s political climate, comical discourse criticizing political candidates is not uncommon. On the cover of The New Yorker’s October 10th, 2016 issue, is a comical political cartoon criticizing the current Republican candidate, Donald J. Trump. In this picture, it displays Trump as an overweight model walking down a runway with many onlookers gazing upon him. Trump is drawn the attire of a beauty pageant contestant, which includes: a dress, high heels, earrings, crown, and sash. Trump is also holding a bouquet of flowers in his right arm, while in his left arm, Trump is holding up his crown. In the cartoon, Trump also appears to have a sad facial expression. Trump has his eyes closed, while tears create makeup streaks that flow down his…

    Often times argumentative essays can be hard to read because a lot of the time they are stuffed with so much information, which is why adding humor helps keep the reader engaged and wanting to read more. Throughout Steven Colbert’s “Higher Education,” I found myself consistently laughing, making me want to continue to read to see what he says next. On the other hand, during Robert Applebaum’s “Cancel Student Loan Debt,” I found myself losing interest and almost dreading what was to come in the next paragraphs. Humor is a key component in arguments on topics that aren’t too interesting by themselves, such as Steven Colbert’s essay.…

    When we were younger some of us say we were going to be doctors, lawyers, or police officers. Remember in elementary school in 5th grade, teachers set up an election. Students ran for president, vice president, and secretary. When it came to winning all you needed was a lot of candy and you had all the votes. But it is not that simple when it comes to being president of the United States.…

    Nonetheless, if he wants to be successful in the political world, and seat in the oval office later on this year, he needs to change that. We all know that Trump can overhaul Clinton. After all, many consider her polling leads to be temporary as Trump is expected to release ads or leak secrets about her. However, the difference between Trump and Clinton is that though many Americans may not like Clinton, they are terrified of Trump. In addition, Trump’s biggest dilemma is the fact that he has close to two-thirds saying they have a disapproving opinion of him. Furthermore, Trump’s rankings are poorest with the voters who made up the so-called Obama union of young, nonwhite and well-educated voters who drove President Obama’s re-election four years past.…

    The last one who answered me was a small, six-year-old boy who was surprisingly confident in his response. I smiled and told him that he could be whatever he wanted. But then I immediately thought: what if I’m filling him with false hopes? After all, it’s not very probable that he actually would become the president. Reflecting on that moment, I wonder why I was so quick to think that my cousin, with…
