Extra butter on my popcorn, please! Shades of Plugs Biden...

[TexasCajun]

Sounds very desperate to me.

Obama plagarized a friends comments that included famous MLK quotes.

So I guess Obama plagarized his friend and MLK.

This guy is the ultimate lying weasel.

THE CAMPAIGN WILL TAKE NO MONEY FROM PETER PAUL.

[Condor51]

Obama's 'people' should accuse Hitlery of plagiarism when she quotes Marx₍₁₎.

(1) Karl not Groucho :-)

[khnyny]

This is the best the Clinton campaign can come up with? No wonder they’re losing.

[the invisib1e hand]

"You...you...you plagiarizer, you!"

[Brilliant]

I guarantee that Obama doesn’t write his own speeches, and neither does Hillary. The diff is that Obama can DELIVER speeches.

[Dilbert San Diego]

This sounds like a manufactured controversy. Heck, all politicians of a certain political leaning sound the same, because they are saying basically the same things.

[xtinct]

Here’s the deal —> All libz sound alike... platitude after platitude. But I’m begging Obama not to start spouting Deval Patrick's “Together We Can” —> makes me nauseous...

[randog]

Heck, all politicians of a certain political leaning sound the same, because they are saying basically the same things.

Which amounts to, basically, nothing.

Oh, and "It Takes a Village" title of Mrs. Clinton's ghost written book, isn't?

Appears the Clintons are very desparate nit-picking no substance people.

Didn't Bill Clinton steal the term "Bridge to the 21st Century". It was not an entirely original utterance that burst from his forked tongue.

Much ado about nothing....oh, oh, I must have heard that from someone else. Yes, I think so.

Perhaps, Putin is right, "at the least minimum, the head of state, should have a head." Mrs. Clinton clearly is not using hers, or it flew over the cuckoo's nest...

Yes, Mrs. Clinton language is a splendid thing, we all can use it, and express ourselves. We have an Amendment too, BTW, that protects it. Of course, being the small old petulant woman you are you don't like it other than for yourself.

Obama said he wrote this speech

[aruanan]

Among the examples are Clinton's use of Obama's signature chant "fired up and ready to go" (>89,000 Google hits) in Davenport, Iowa, and later her echoing of his rally cry, "Yes, we can!" (1,270,000 Google hits)

Neither of these is original with Barack, especially the latter.

[bannie]

Whenever I see, “Clinton aide accuses,” I just wanna’ LAUGH!!!

[GreenHornet]

Obama called the charges ridiculous and said he wasn’t afaid to confront these charges head-on, adding that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Apparently when Democrats get into congress they have to attend a class call original thought, which is taught by Joe Biden.

JFK Speechwriter = TED SORENSEN

OBAMA Speechwriter = TED SORENSEN

LOL!
They’re all just extensions of a borg. One thought through messenger bodies.

[Krankor]

Don’t you see the incredible irony and hypocrisy? Hillary accused Obama of being an empty suit- just words and no action. And how does Obama respond to the charge? He steals someone else’s speech.
