Presidential debate

In this clip that I viewed, the question was asked whether or not the budget can be balanced in four years. John McCain, begins the answering of the question by saying," Senator Obama, I am not President Bush," he then proceeds to talk about Obama's voting record, "He voted twice for a budget resolution, that increases the taxes on individuals." By using statistics and defining the budget resolution, he is demonstrating logos. He then proceeds to run around the actual question, of how he would actually do it, and then uses examples of other people's solutions to distract the audience. He says " That American's are hurtin' and upset, and he understands that," which is an example of pathos AND ethos, he is showing that he feels strongly about the American people's well being as well as the fact he is relateable. Obama is then allowed to retort on the subject, and responds by using logos, and talks about all the things that he has supported, such as "charter schools, and paid for performance for teachers, clean coal technology, and says that he has a history of reaching across the aisle."
