Mr. Obama is a plagerist.

Do you care if you are a supporter?

Plagerism is not silly. Mr. Obama is all words, little substance, in my opinion, and now he has stooped to stealing words.

If you like him because of how inspiring his WORDS are, you might want to listen to the man who WROTE those words.

1. Learn to spell.
2. Let's say you were to dig up a transcript of the speeches Patrick and Obama each gave. How close would you say they are? Close enough to stand up in court?
3. Okay, for the sake of argument, let's say Obama plagiarized wrongfully. How do you feel about Hillary's plagiarism--that is, using a ghostwriter for "her" book It Takes A Village? Furthermore, did you read anywhere in Hillary's book that she cited/credited the phrase "it takes a village" to the African proverb whence it came?

The only thing silly is how people keep thinking he is such a great speaker. Obama is such a phony.

Elmonellie well you have already made up your mind right? What is your point besides the fact that he used somebody else words? Why don't you start a McCain thread on plagerism? "NO NEW TAXES"

Even Dr King plagerized words in his speeches & sermons but it got his point across and Obama is no different. Save the hate.

oh southern nature lover at least Obama can speak unlike the chimp in the White House.

Whatever else one might say about him, it is incredible that anyone could deny that he is a gifted speaker. That's not to say anything about his quality as a person, because inspiring politicians from Ronald Reagan to JFK to Adolph Hitler were all gifted speakers, whatever their other qualities.

Are you expecting me to come to Bush's defense? Not likely.
