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$zUnited States 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects 676 $a973.932092 700 $aLeeman$b Richard W$01546448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779282303321 996 $aThe teleological discourse of Barack Obama$93802072 997 $aUNINA
