Obama says borrowed lines not a big deal
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago
Sen. Barack Obama said Monday that he probably should have given his friend — the governor of Massachusetts — credit for using his lines over the weekend.
Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for Hillary Rodham Clinton accused Obama of plagiarizing Gov. Deval Patrick. Wolfson said that raises questions about the premise of Obama's candidacy — his rhetorical skills.
Obama, D-Ill., says that's going too far. He says he really doesn't think it's a big deal to use Patrick's words because they share ideas all the time.
Patrick said during his campaign a year and a half ago that words matter, like "I have a dream" and "all men are created equal."
Obama used the same lines Saturday night in Wisconsin. Obama said that Patrick suggested he use the lines to respond to Clinton's suggestion that he is more of a talker than a doer.
HA HA ha ha hah... That’s it? That’s ALL the clintoons got?
Hey Obama- how about firing back about the allegations OF RAPE
If Patrick in fact suggested this, this is not a story.
Yes, we can.
besides, his constituency is known for nothing if not perfecting the art and science of plagiarism.
pimping-the-kids alert.
If he would plagiarize Biden, it would set up a feedback loop that would tear the time-space continuum and the entire universe would get pulled inside out.
Damn, I wish somebody had thought of that and said it before so I could have used that line.
*lolz*
So, some black men, some white men, some homosexuality, some rape, and maybe even some hard narcotics, and links with the Communist party, and all the Hildabest can come up with is to call this "Plaigerism".
The Clinton campaign’s attacks just seem to get more and more pathetic.
Come on, Hill. Surely, you can dig up some more things he really doesn’t think are big deals.
It’s called unresolved circular references!
BZZZZZZZZZZTTT!
These guys don't actually have ideas that they might share.
They have slogans. They share their slogans. There's a difference.
It’s actually an effective critique from an intra- Democratic standpoint, and it’s just a warmup. Like a boxer, they are giving Obama little taps to the side of his face now, so that he is stunned when they unload on him late this week. They are testing his PR response machinery and his cycle time. I predict that there will be some Clintonian PR surface-to-air missles fired by Saturday.
Me? I’m just hoping that they both bloody each other very badly as I sit back and watch the show. Pass the popcorn!
Well see now how it gets started... You call Plagirasim to get the media interested then they ask well who is this Great friend of Obama’s... and without outing the story... they Out the story... Clintons are really good at the slime twists...
LOL....
GRAB THE POPCORN ...
GWB is running a great race for his third term.
