    It's not a surprise that Obama would adopt this argument seeing as how Patrick and Obama share David Axelrod as their chief campaign strategist and both were accused of doing nothing more than giving great speeches.

    In a telephone interview on Sunday, Mr. Patrick said that he and Mr. Obama first talked about the attacks from their respective rivals last summer, when Mrs. Clinton was raising questions about Mr. Obama’s experience, and that they discussed them again last week.

    Both men had anticipated that Mr. Obama’s rhetorical strength would provide a point of criticism. Mr. Patrick said he told Mr. Obama that he should respond to the criticism, and he shared language from his campaign with Mr. Obama’s speechwriters.

    Mr. Patrick said he did not believe Mr. Obama should give him credit.

    "Who knows who I am? The point is more important than whose argument it is," said Mr. Patrick, who telephoned The New York Times at the request of the Obama campaign. "It’s a transcendent argument."

    There has been quite a bit of "unoriginality" in this campaign....



    Yes We Will???

    We also have John McCain's new slogan of "Fired Up and Ready to Go!"

    Hammer meets nail...

    Maybe there is no complex subliminal message to the Clintonites' weirdly trumped-up "plagiarism" attack.

    Maybe they just wanted to distract everyone from narratives about defecting superdelegates, Bill's disposition, a looming Wisconsin defeat, and so on.

    And in that sense they appear to be succeeding.

    Hillary Clinton - Desperate Final Attempts to Smear Barack Obama and Stave off Defeat

    The problem for Hillary is that this is not the 90's when Bill ran for President. The internet has matured into a resource where any statement by a candidate can be researched and vetted within seconds of the last syllable leaving their lips. The many accusations levied by Hillary and her campaign against Obama have to a word all been debunked and shown to be if not distortions or exaggerations then outright fabrications.

    Take the home purchase by Obama. The Clinton campaign accused Obama of obtaining a sweetheart deal for the home through the intervention of now disgraced and indicted real estate mogul Antonin Rezko. Bloomberg (the news agency, not the mayor of New York), researched the accusations and found them to be complete fabrications. See this article in Bloomberg

    http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...y91Js&refer=us to wit:

    The couple who sold Barack Obama his Chicago home said the Illinois senator's $1.65 million bid ''was the best offer'' and they didn't cut their asking price because a campaign donor bought their adjacent land
    Factcheck.org is all over the recent mailers put out by Hillary's campaign essentially calling every statement and accusation made in them distortions of Obama's record. See http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2...t_mailers.html

    Washington Post fact-checkers have now debunked the entire Exelon nuclear issue; see click here awarding Hillary and her campaign two "Pinocchio's" for the story. Hillary's accusations vis-à-vis Exelon have backfired so badly, two sitting Democratic senators, Barbara Boxer (CA), and Richard Durbin (IL), are both on record as "scoffing" at Hillary's accusations according to the Washington Post. Even worse, the Post shows that Hillary Clinton herself hailed the bill when it was introduced and issued a press release to that effect http://www.senate.gov/~clinton/news/....cfm?id=262953 . So we have a press release of Hillary's debunking her own accusations.

    This is all so much worse for Hillary that she is doing this now that she is losing. I remember John Edwards' words in the New Hampshire debate. "Hillary wasn't saying any of this when she was winning". It makes these actions look like tactics born of desperation and a scorched earth policy.

    Hillary's supporters are all over the Liberal blogs trying to take the enthusiasm out of Obama supporters by calling their support of Obama "cult like" or outright accusing the campaign of being a cult. When Hillary's supporters aren't doing that, they are accusing every point brought up against Hillary of being sexism or gender bias, that even includes a question by Obama supporters concerning why Hillary hasn't released her tax forms. We Obama supporters are still trying to figure out how that request is sexist in nature.

    Well, he stole John Edwards message the entire campaign. I'm not amazed. He can't even deliver it as good. It's funny how people think he gives moving speeches just because the media tells us so, when all he does is copy others, generalizes everything and studders half the time because he can't genuinely deliver it like the actual person who said it.

    I pray Edwards doesn't endorse this copycat. The only way I vote with Obama on a ticket is if Edwards is his running mate. I'd be voting for Edwards, not Obama.

    SA210 look what Edwards message got him. Third place and a
    rocking chair on his front porch. Let's hope it does the same for
    Barack and Billary.

    at least if barack obama wins it will give 'hope' to aspiring politicians who aren't in the old guard of their respective political party
    Barack may not be old guard. But he has the same game
    plan as the old guard. Great big old government programs,
    and tax the out of the producers.

    I think the time for an Edwards endorsement has passed. I am sure that both candidates would love to have it, but I think it won't matter as much as it would have pre-Super Tuesday. Also, I take it by your statement that you would be ok with Edwards endorsing Hillary. I can imagine how well that would go over with the Edwards minions at Kos/other blogs.

    I'm not surprised that two people would have given that speech in the past two years. It's a pretty predictable response to that kind of accusation. I'd be shocked if you couldn't find more examples. That doesn't make Obama a plagiarist unless you want it to.

    Believe me, I don't like Hillary much at all, and she's stolen from Edwards as well. Obama much more though. Maybe an endorsement won't do much from Edwards, maybe it will. I believe that if John were to endorse Hillary, it wouldn't make much news, mostly negative media actually. But if John were to endorse Obama, the media would be all over it for two days at least.

    The endorsement might not mean anything to some people but Obama and Hillary sure are fighting for it.

    OMG, he used BOTH the words "bamboozled" AND "hoodwinked!" This REINFORCES Schlussel's earlier claim that Obama is a SECRET MUSLIM!!!!!

    This stuff is pretty funny... what's even funnier is that it probably works.

    He also used the phrase "the Okie Doke." My grandfather used to use that phrase for situations when people were being untruthful.

    Senator Obama, QUIT STEALING FROM MY GRANDFATHER!!!!

    Whenever I hear Obama speaking, he is using the English langauge, and I know he didn't invent any of those words. All those words reflect ideas developed by somebody else.
