Obama Heckler was Right (CNN)

This article was about how Obama keeps changing his mind on the policies of illegal immigrants. Lately, a korean heckler called him out while in a crowd at a denver conference and he responded that he was simply just following the laws of the United States. This article is a combination of fact/value/policy. The fact of the situation is undeniable, as well as embarrassing. The value aspect is tough to argue because many people feel differently about who should be allowed to stay in our country and those who arent. And the policy is whether Obama is following the correct rules of congress, if he is moving on without congress, or if he is treading water to stay out of the public spotlight. I would say the author primarily uses pathos because he is obviously anti-obama. He is siding with the man in the crowd later claiming he is a hero who deserved a round of applause. His main objective was trying to expose Obama as a sketchy character.
