You are correct about plagarism, but it DOES show a complete lack of any original intellectual thought.

Even that charge could be undermined if the author wanted to swallow his pride and claim Barack gave him the idea.

Given the way Liberal Mind Fog Disorder works, it would be better to--rather than saying that Barack was always using other people's ideas for lack of his own--instead compliment Barack on being so brilliant and generous as to give his ideas to so many other different people. People with LMFD would happily regard that as a plus until, sometime after they'd accepted the idea into their brain, they realized that the implied causality wouldn't make sense.

Nothing that Obama says are his own words. He stole a line from Rush Limbaugh for his speech on service. It was a phrase that Limbaugh uses all the time to talk about the difference between conservatives and liberals, something about inspiring people to be all that they can be, instead of victims.

Can’t disagree, but I wouldn’t hesitate to point out that Obama gets his “best” and “most serious” material from the cartoon section of the newspaper.

Actually, he stole “Yes We Can” from La Raza’s “Si, Se Pueda”

“Yes, we can” was the platform that Gov. Deval Patrick ran on to win in MA....talk about empty suits and empty promises.

Note how he’s looking at the woman in black shirt (front row), when he delivers the pig line. Coincidence?
