2. The emotional perspective
3. Rhetorical perspective

In response for the article, I would like to use both “the social perspective” and “the ethical perspective”. Barrack Obama is the first color president in American history, which can be considered to be breaking point to the racial discrimination problem that widely concerned by the whole society. Racial discrimination is a problem that exists in the world that people show prejudice and discrimination towards color people especially black people. Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States on Jan. 20, 2009. The son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas, he was the first African-American to ascend to the highest office in the United State. I still remember how crazy those black people in my dorm building were, even happier than getting one million dollars for free however that was truly worth celebrating as it is such a historical event. Obama has run a successful campaign in the way of electioneering, however one of his behaviors that is considered to be a method of gaining votes is controversial, which is that he is supporter of “Pro-choice” as his background of christen. “Pro-choice” problem, which is named abortion in medical and biological issues, is a controversial ethical problem that influencing the society.
The election of president, especially the electioneering period, is a well reveal of problems existing in the society. The final winner should be the person that may more likely to solve these problems. So, good luck, Obama.
