UF rhetoric scholar praises President Obama's Arizona address

President Barrack Obama faced a difficult task Wednesday night in Tuscon, Arizona, as he spoke at a memorial for the victims of Saturday’s shooting of a member of congress, and several other people. Pundits had worried that the talk would be too political. But University of Florida rhetoric scholar Ron Carpenter told WUFT-FM’s Tom Krynski that the president rose to the challenge.
