Essentially, The Straw Man argument fallacy replaces the actual views and platforms of the opponent you are attacking with, well, a fictional counterpoint that is easier to attack and criticize than the actual person. As seen above, President Obama is making vague generalizations about Governor Romney’s policies in an attempt to appeal to an emotional as opposed to intellectual side of the American population. By saying that Governor Romney is in the interest of big business and appealing to the post-Great Recession resentment toward industry and the wealthy in general, President Obama tries to portray a different opponent entirely. Of course, Governor Romney quickly rebuts that those accusations are simply untrue.

Halfway through a sip, an unfamiliar face entered the teachers’ lounge. He didn’t seem lost, and he had a way about him that said perfected craft. Though he kept to himself, there was no doubt the confidence in his stature when he was asked about what he had specialized in. Wally couldn’t help but join in the conversation he was having with two more of the staff. “Well hello and good morning, sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Professor Wallace West. Theoretical physics. Yourself?” He held out his free hand for the man to shake if he so desired, a small sleepy smile pulling at his features.
