1) Concisely reprise the rudimentary contention or narrative of the chosen book

Ans. The phrase urgent situation brings to brain ideas of volatility and exigent circumstances. Referring to a situation as a crisis indicates especially threatening conditions, alerting the public to a significant problem. The American public can be broken down into exact categories. One audience is American taxpayers, particularly the middle class, who will inevitably bear the brunt of any bailout plan formulated. The credit market is at great risk because if financial institutions stop lending money then all Americans will struggle to sell their house, keep their jobs, and get loans (Henry, 2008). A second audience is the financial institutions at greatest risk: Wall Street, the banking executives and companies, and traders who face the greatest threat of collapse and may deserve the most blame for this fiscal crisis. Athird audience more unique for leader GeorgeW. Bush is Washington, the democratic and republican parties in Congress, who are also faced with the challenge to find and approve an appropriate solution. President George Bush is clearly speaking to them as a type of mediator. However, his effectiveness as a mediator is weak because he is a lame duck president. Barack Obama has officially been elected and Americans have already turned to him for discourse.Throughout history, America has faced innumerable crises; the stock market crash of 1929, the Cuban missile crisis, the Iran hostage crisis, the terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001, and now the national financial crisis. During such times Americans have increasingly turned to their president for discourse. His response is an important component of the identification, explanation and ultimately the resolution of any crisis. This paper will explore the progression of four presidential responses during two of the most severe economic crises: First President Herbert Hoover's rhetoric relative to the stock market crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression, is compared to his successor President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who led the U.S. out of the depression. Then President George W. Bush's response to the recent financial crisis of 2008 is compared with his successor, the current charismatic democrat President Barack H. Obama whom American citizens hope will guide them out of the recession. The role of presidential ethos is illuminated as a crucial element for a successful rhetorical response.
