Retoriek Ik en Wij

The UmBlog: Rhetoric without a cause: Obama

Het gebruik van 'ik' of 'wij' kan anders geïnterpreteerd worden.
Obama supporters like to point his rhetorical difference in using "we" instead of "I" in his stump speeches. Perhaps, unfortunately, Americans are so far removed from England since our revolution 230 years ago, that we forget the royal "we" is the polite royal's pronoun when he means "me."
