1) Relating Stephen Heidt’s article “The Presidency as Pastiche: Atomization, Circulation, and Rhetorical Instability” and the idea of fragmentation with when President Barack Obama mentioned in his early year in office that he was going to be in office for one-term.
2) Using McGee’s article about ideography and relating that to President Barack Obama’s 2014 State of the Union address.
3) Analyzing Secretary of State John Kerry’s statement to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and seeing how Netanyahu reacted negatively to it and using Kerry as a scapegoat and referring to Kenneth Burk’s article, “Dramatism.”
All of these are excellent! The John Kerry one jumps out at me, only because the president is such a popular choice for rhetorical analysis. I think the Kerry choice could offer some interesting new discussion. But they're all good, so it's up to you!
