5/12 Poet vs. President

The rhetoric of a poet and that of a president are very different. A president tries to appeal to the nation and please as many people as possible. Sometimes he can be very deceiving because he has his own opinions and belongs to a certain political party but in order to get elected, the majority of the country has to respect him and agree with some of his propositions. As he is trying to impress the majority of the country he may not be completely truthful about his intentions or beliefs because they're not what everyone wants to hear. A president also has to be very professional and be careful to not show too much emotion because it could be seen as a sign of weakness.
On the other hand, the rhetoric of a poet is all about showing his own opinions and voice. He is not representing anyone but himself and therefore does not need to be mindful of other people's opinions and emotions. He's able to speak freely and does not have to maintain that level of professionalism and business that a president is mindful of. Also, a poet can discuss whatever his heart desires and a president has to focus on politics. A poet can be very selfish and self absorbed but a president has to be the exact opposite. A president has to be selfless, putting his country first.
