Fallacies of J.F.K

"In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine,will rest the final success or failure of our course", Such empowering words, to think that its up to us to decide whether we succeed or are destroyed, But what about an alternative? Some sort of middle ground must exist between success and failure, this is why as good as this quote may sound it is clearly not logically sound. The excluded middle makes the people being addressed in the speech feel that there is an incredible weight upon their shoulders, they assume more responsibility as a result. Although this speech does commit many logical fallacies in addition to this one, it remains to this day one of the most moving and inspirational addresses from a president. This is because the charisma of John F. Kennedy was unmatched, and the way in which he presented his ideas won people over just by the sound of his words alone. by keeping his goals and promises vague he was able to appeal to a wide range of people.
