The Long Game Of Barack Obama

By Andrew Sullivan - The Daily Dish.

I have chosen this article to write my critique about since i’ve found it compelling how the author really supports and stands behind his piece of writing. Nonetheless we also have briefly discussed President Obama and the maybe chance of his era being a realignment. 

In this article the author’s intended audience is the average american that has access to the internet and at least some sort of political interest. The writing i found to be quite colloquial and it being a blog leads me to find this writing's audience to be the aforementioned.

Andrew Sullivan, a graduate from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and advocated political writer since 1986 prove him an educated and experienced writer in matters of government and it’s politics. 

Sullivan’s argument in this article is clearly pro-Obama with claims of favoring public approval, better economy, deficit, liberal rights, and war situations than before. These can all be backed up by statistics except for quote “The economy? It’s growing faster than anywhere else in the world.” As far as I could reach from numbers and statistics from CIA World Factbook, and The World Bank Organization the United States does not have the fastest growing economy in the world but it is the largest. The last two paragraphs strike my as deeply subjective in which the author intends to share with the reader his “mixed feelings” by which then i intend to infer that his logic is backed up by the evidence of the presidents’ efforts and accomplishments.
