Highly regarded for his eloquent and inspiring rhetoric, Obama is often compared to Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. However, Leeman's study shows that Obama's teleological philosophy and discourse more closely resembles Ronald Reagan's rhetoric. 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects 676 $a973.932092 700 $aLeeman$b Richard W$0947243 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451840503321 996 $aThe teleological discourse of Barack Obama$92196681 997 $aUNINA
