He never admitted doing anything wrong.

NILES, Ohio – Sen. Barack Obama said today that he should have given credit to his friend, Deval Patrick, when he used language very similar to some previously spoken by the Massachusetts governor in 2006.
"I was on the stump, and, you know, he had suggested that we use these lines," Obama said at a news conference a few minutes ago. "I thought they were good lines. I'm sure I should have [given him credit], didn't this time."

Because otherwise it appears that you're making things up. It's apparent that you often do.

You're the one who keeps claiming that everything needs to be referenced--to include Obama's speech. Irony, much?

Because the big thing Obama has going for him, and he has it going good, is words and the delivery of them.

Obama seems to only have words and now that we see he is cheating and using others....Makes one wonder.

And you're STILL parroting that line about all he has is words.

You're just too lazy to read. Admit it.

Yet another lie. There are hundreds of pages on his site. And you've read it all since this morning? or Yesterday? And then you still have the time (and balls) to get on this site and say what you do?

She claims to have read it all, yet she claims he hasn't actually proposed any policies, but rather runs on words. I'm a bit incredulous.

I'm amazed that people can be so dim.

If you so firmly believe he stole the words/ideas, then why do you still refuse to cite the speech from which you claim he stole words?
I guess you think it is all about you. That is pretty funny.

It's the speech everyone is talking about today.

You are silly. Look up info if you are inclined to.

And here's an article where Patrick is the one who suggested Obama use his lines:

Yes, he was wrong. Thanks for trying to water that down.

People are pointing to it because it shows how empty he is.
