Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
SEN. BARACK OBAMA:They're going to try to say, "Well, you know, he's got a funny name, and he doesn't look like all the presidents on the dollar bills."

This is a Straw Man Fallacy. First he tells you what they are going to say and then he attack based on something that they have not said yet.

Also the "doesn't look like the other presidents" assertion is a play on racism.

Sorry, Mr. Obama, You do not bear the marks of a Statesman. You use false logic to claim you are a victim.

We don't need a leader with a victim mentality, we need winners.
