Obama's speech writers used the strawman fallacies yesterday
by moshe inseems they liked using that fallacy a lot--.
president obama has an, at times, well-deserved reputation for delivering his speeches well.
certainly, the president made an impression today when he delivered his second inaugural address calling for a bolder, more expansive government that would be committed increasingly to the principles of liberalism, with characteristic soaring rhetoric.. unfortunately, another characteristic was also in evidence in obama's speech: namely, his tendency to argue against positions that nobody holds (and by extension, to mischaracterize his opponents' views so as to make them easier to argue against).

Straw Man #2:
“No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores.”
Like the first straw man, this one argues against something which is obviously false, and which no one believes. A single, individual person obviously cannot do all of this alone, but again, that does not imply that if someone cannot do something alone, the government must step in and do it for them. For instance, an architect cannot build a skyscraper alone. He needs laborers, engineers, and other people. But saying he can’t do this alone is not the same thing as saying that private citizens cannot cooperatively agree to do this without help from the government.
.. I don't see the strawman here..

this article is impling things that weren't in the speech.. you and the rest of your clan is just sour grapes.. get over it...

deficits matter ... to the Banks who own this country... Thats where they make alot off money off the interest.. both parties say the want to reduce deficits.. but they wont.. their bosses won't allow it
think about it .. it's simple math and they have the power to fix it but they don't ... yes it is that simple ..
