I argue in this thesis that Obama utilizes a populist persuasion in order to rally support for his financial reform legislation. Using Michael Kazin's theory on populist persuasion, this thesis analyzes Obama's rhetorical strategy and investigates the ways in which it is populist. en Wake Forest University Obama Populism Presidential Rhetoric Obama the Populist?
