This has gotta be one of the most bizarre excuses I’ve ever heard- It’s not plagiarism, because Obama copied Patrick’s words deliberately. Huh? They think alike so they riff off each other? I think the correct term is rip off. This savior with all the great ideas and thoughts and words- is stealing them from Deval Patrick- which is pretty scary considering the disaster of Deval’s administration.
This is a complete non-issue that, if anything, could come back to bite Hillary as yet another specious attack.
Gov. Deval Patrick: “Sen. Obama and I are long-time friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language. The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Sen. Clinton, I applaud him responding in just the way he did.”
By definition would not plagarism be INTENTIONALLY using someone elses words? Yikes Barry your cult followers including the MSM might swallow .
Why is anyone surprised? Obama has accomplished nothing in the Senate for the past four years. All he has is cheap talk which we now know is from another politician, classic! Has anyone ever heard Obama’s actual plan of action. Anyone else sick of hearing change, without an explanation of what change he is talking about…scary stuff…
Wow, the Clintons are really getting desperate. I think idea of building a coalition rather than continue the attitude of let’s get 51% of the vote and to hell with 49% who voted against me” is a refreshing one.
The hypocrisy is that Hillary Clinton has plagarised Bill Clinton’s whole Presidency. Her ludicrous claims of 35 years of experience which are largely based upon her years as first lady. She was only elected to the Senate a couple of years before Obama. What 35 years? What is she talking about? Work Experience? I can’t really name anything Hillary did in the 80’s, much less the 70’s…and as for the 90’s…she has as plausible an argument as Laura Bush.
Im not even an Obama supporter, and this is just piecemeal and ridiculous. It seems like Hilary is SUPER desperate, I mean even if he stated what Patrick stated in an earlier speech, wouldnt it be for Duval Patrick and no Hilary’s people to bring up????
ooh wait, these are the whitewater people..absolute scumbags so it seems.
Governor Patrick and Senator Obama are longtime friends and political allies. By paying homage to a logical argument against the Clinton attacks against him, Obama lifted Patrick’s words (which are well-known to most who keep up with political rhetoric). The fact that Patrick’s speech is so accessible and linked from a multitude of Obama’s sites also suggests that Obama wants those words to be heard by Americans (and supports Patrick) – why would Obama STEAL words and ideas that reference some of the greatest political thinkers of our country’s history when he has the right to use them just as Patrick did – just as JFK did – just as FDR did? Their speeches had similar constructs. When Obama supporter Patrick inevitably speaks out against the Clinton accusations later this week, I hope that will shut up their desperate ploys to stomp out Obama – Hillary would dash hope in the face to get ahead in this race – so sad.
Hillary is digging herself deeper… give it up as you are on a burning ship.
Is it just me? But I feel like I need a shower after I’ve seen Howard Wolfson.
I am a writer and a historian. If I did something to this effect I would be fired, embarrased, and likely never have any credibility on any issue I write about. If I were still at the University level I could be expelled, or surely disiplinced very harshly. But, for our ruling elite, the same rules do not apply. Isn’t Joe Biden still working in the public sphere?…..sigh
The Clintons are totAlly disgusting amoral people who WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHEN THEY ACTUALLY BELONG IN THE BIG HOUSE.
They are getting so desperate when Patrick supports Obama and it seems like they are grasping at straws by the fraudulent Clintons. They have hit an all time low if that’s possible. They are already are very low in the integrity, self esteem department and high in the selfishness, disingenuousness and divisive departments.
Obama also regularly quotes verbatim from Robert Redford’s basic stump speech in the early 1970’s film “The Candidate”. Obama’s basic speech is the same, ‘no longer shall we pit young against old, rich against poor, black against white’ and so forth. the idea in the film is that the candidate was expousing platitudes and avoiding taking any positions, which eerily resembles the Obama campaign!
I’m very concerned about this article from the Boston Globe. We better check this out and be very sure about just who we are supporting for President of the United States.

Democrat Supporters adopt “Yes We can! Yes We will! Vote Democrat 2008!”
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, 1992 U.S. Olympic “Dream team” member Magic Johnson played political pundit and addressed the much-talked-about possibility of the a Democratic “dream ticket” involving rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. “I hope really that both of them end up on the same ticket,” said Clinton supporter Magic Johnson a separate interview with Blitzer.
“I would really love seeing that and I think a lot of other people would love seeing that as well,” he added.
Although Johnson said he would support Obama if the first-term senator won the Democratic nomination, the NBA legend likened a ticket with Clinton as the presidential nominee and Obama as the vice presidential nominee to “Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic all playing together on the dream team.”
So in thier honor I found some cool videos of what Magic Johnson says the Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama Democrat Dream team would look like if they worked as a team …

I’m amazed at the human capacity to blindly follow the empty rhetoric of a clean, articulate, messianic con-artist.
You leftist will come up with any excuse to exonerate your “leaders”. Obama can do no wrong now? Kinda’ reminds of another demoncrat way back when, a man YOU all made excuses for, a “man,{I use the word loosely} that cheated, lied, and deceived the nation, he could say and do NO WRONG either. His name was Bill Clinton… Sound familiar?… fools…
A speech given shortly before he died by President John F. Kennedy is perhaps the best refutation of the Clinton approach to politics, and captures the Obama magic …
“When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.”
America is tired of the arrogance, corruption and lack of that elusive thing called grace that characterized Bill Clinton’s “co-presidency” with Hillary.
Or, to put it another way, as the ancient Romans said: “When Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, ‘How well he spoke,’ but when Demosthenes had finished speaking, the people said, ‘Let us march.’”
America is on the move again.
Um, Michael, regarding Obama’s 4 yrs in the Senate, it’s worse than that . . . he’s only got two years under his belt. Can we say, “UNqualified.”
Does this surprise ANYONE after eight straight losses and shifting polls in Texas and Ohio. Time for the “night of the long knives” … sorry – that might be plagiarism …
~LCC
It’s ironic that the part of the speech Obama plagiarized is making the point that he’s more than words….and now we find out they’re not even his own words.
hilarious
It seems to me most people don’t know what PLAGARISM is.Plagarism,is written words used as your own without giving credit to the author of such written words.There’s no such thing in free speech,since speech is spontaneous.Furthermore,plagarism can only be claimed if one sought to make a profit such written words.In conclusion,spontaneity in speech is never counted as plagarism,hence we would be all guilty of plagarism.I was the first Blogger to point out that the Clinton’s campaign organization was plagarizing Obama motto of CHANGE as there own,when her motto of experience didn’t resonate with the public.The Clinton’s had 8 years to give this country an health care plan and couldn’t get it done,only when Obama came out with his health plan they start attacking him.
If Obama is not the nominee,McCain will be president and the democrats will lose seats in the House and Senate,BECAUSE a lot of voters will be sitting on their hands.
Ive listened to the speech by both men. Mr Patrick did not coin those famous words, they are used by many in various context including Martin Luther King’s speech.
If Mr Patrick had coined those famous lines “Truth to be self evident” “Nothing to fear but fear itself” “I have a dream” then it would be a story. His indiscretion is nothing compare to what the Clintons do and have done.
Look, the man used the other mans words. End of story!
So if Hillary isn’t “qualified” after all her years of public service, then what the hell does that make Obama???
Think, Obamanites,THINK!!! Use that underdeveloped brain of yours and think!!!
If the great and mighty Obama can’t even show enough courage to debate Hillary again BEFORE MARCH 4th, how is going to stand up against dictators like Aminamoodforajihad and Uggo chavez,
Oh, stupid me, I forgot, they’re not the bad guys, Bush, Cheney, Rove, and Jesus are the bad guys, according to you leftist.
THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Governor Patrick almost had a nervous breakdown when taking office, it wasn’t his wife. Bureaucrats had a pool on when he would be exiting within months of taking office.
Obama sure does have great black friends willing to cheer loudly for their brother OJ as well
Hillary sure is grasping at straws. Nobody cares!
Check out the youtube video of the guy that claims Obama smoked crack while this guy “smoked” Obama in 1999. That’s when he was a State Senator. He is scheduled to take a polygraph. If it were a Republican this story would be all over the news and he would already be kicked out of the Senate, much less still be a Presidential candidate. I’m guessing this guy comes up missing soon. Full story at WorldNetDaily.com
Obama is an empty suit. He is using broad generalities to appeal to the ignorant. I have yet to meet an Obama supporter who actually could debate an issue.
If the Clinton 90s was so great why are the Clintons being beaten by an empty suit ?
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is exceedingly desperate. They have no chance of winning enough delegates to take the nomination and now they’re resorting to the nuclear option. The country is not going to vote another Clinton into the White House. We’ve had 4 years of Bush #1, 8 years of Bill Clinton, and now 8 years of Bush #2. If the country elects Hillary Clinton, the Bush & Clinton families will have ruled the nation for 24-28 years. That concept is ridiculous. We are a nation of democracy, not a nation of ruling families!
The ReTHUGlicans get more and more like Adolf Hitler and the Nazis every day. They’ve already killed tens of thousands of innocents, including Americans, and are howling to kill more. Thank God their time is at an end.
How sad. This is what the end of a failed campain looks like. The Great Ship Hillary is sinking and their reaching for whatever they can. The funny thing is, what Hillary and her supporters dont understand , attacks like that are one of the reasons why she’s losing.
Mr.Gunkel, truth… pay close attention: Yes, in your leftist mind, perfect harmony with each other means that I have to think, and believe in, what YOU think and believe. And if I choose to be “disharmonius, go my own way so to speak, then YOUR KIND will ostracize and persecute and ridicule me. So dont hand me your load of college edicated socialist hippy bulls–t, please sir. I’ve just about had enough of YOUR KIND, already, and I’m starting to feel ill. Teach YOUR own kids to DRINK COKE AND TEACH THE WORLD TO SING IN PERFECT HARMONY!… just leave mine alone…..
What’s with you people at Breibart TV??? This is like fourth time I’ve posted here in response to others, and yet you only printed my first post. This is supposed to be free speech, right? And don’t be tellin’ me I’m censored because of content! I may be harsh with these milquetoast leftist posting here, but I haven’t beem profane. I would appreciate if you would allow me at more than one post for the day, instaed of acting like a bunch of chinese censors. THIS IS STILL AMERICA,ISN’T IT?!
I wouldn’t be surprised if you printed this, I don’t care, just be fair and stop letting these whiny leftist say whatever they want while us conservatives get muzzled.
SHOW SOME GOURAGE, {it’s the American way… land of the brave…}
Again, the Clinton mafia up to OLD IDEAS and OLD TACTICS! Rush Limbaugh was right: Hillary and Bill will do ANYTHING to win! They will not be denied what RIGHTFULLY belongs to them.
As if they have not robbed the American people already. They stole from the White House and took THINGS THAT DON’T BELONG TO THEM. And now, they want to STEAL again.
Hillary STOLE Obama’s Words: “Change from day 1″–lame as it is. She copies him all the time. This mafia family refuses to lose. No Hillary, No Way!
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! (Did I plagiarize Golmer Pyle?) Oops.
Texas for McCain! But Obama over Clinton ANYDAY!
Let’s look to definitions so as we can avoid petty comments like “dumb as hell” which, by the way, only pave way to a argument holding no water.
fascism
SYLLABICATION: fas·cism
PRONUNCIATION: fshzm
NOUN: 1. often Fascism a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. b.

So no, facts don’t get in the way – they support my claim. But thanks for your input.
Nice. Thorough; I’m impressed. For the rewcord, I have no problem with good old fashioned, American “liberalism”, the “Berkeley” types are ridiculous and misguided, but they probably love this country, in their own wierd way.
A “leftist” is a person who hates America, and its founding ideals of independence and rugged individualism. A leftist loathes everything America stands for, Just like fascist do, fascist like Adolph Hitler, Hugo Chavez, the islamofascist terrorist, and the MoveOn.org,George Soros crowd.
Nice try Kat, but no dice…
It is possible to be a good old fashioned American liberal, and NOT be a self loathing, America hating leftist. C’mon Kat, the “educated” snobbery’s gettin’ old.
“Does this mean Barack and Hillary aren’t friends and we won’t have our Dream Team?”
If Hillary is on it, its no dream team…only a nightmare. Who needs some middle aged ball-breaker in the White House?
Kat,
I agree with you, we should raise the intellectual level, and decrease the name calling here, while increasing the level of civility. So here goes….
SHUT UP, YOU LEFTY LESBIAN.
Kat,
I agree with you that the level of civility, and intellectual level here should be raised, and the venomous, ad hominem attacks be lowered. So here goes…..SHUT UP, YOU LEFTY LESBIAN !!!!
Campaign says speech similarities are intentional?
LOL, well THAT’S what makes it PLAGIARISM!!! Why oh WHY can’t a liberal EVER just admit it when they get caught instead of making comments that indicate they believe everyone else is a moron?
Obama has run his campaign on the words of others. He hasn’t come up with any original thoughts yet or plans to back up those words. Words can be powerful, but you need to know how to implement change and hope not just wish for it.
In all of history, all men and women have restated others words, as we are taught to perpetuate thoughts and history. It is a juvenile attack to accuse him of plaigerism, a desperate attempt to attract votes from the weak minded. Just another Clintonesque device to chip away at her opponent.
Of course those speeches are almost exactly the same, the were written by the same person. The speech writer for Patrick is now working for Obama.
He also uses Rush Limbaugh’s line of “ordinary people doing extraordinary things” in his speeches. That’s what happens when you have no original thoughts.
When you make a speech (or write a book, news or magizine article etc,) and use “similarites (that) are intentional”, it is customary to give attribution. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. But I guess “it depends on what the definition of the word ‘is’ is”. Wait, did I just plagiarize someone? Doh…!
You know this just shows that “Desperate” and “Losing” are not “just words”. If Hillary is really about solutions…then how is this a demonstrative argument for that case? She’s for not for solutions for Average Americans but for her flailing campaign. The only time Hillary has cried is when she was on the verge of getting drubbed in New Hampshire…which begs the question why was that the singular occasion of her grief? Perhaps, it is because she cares more for her own success than for the problems of real Americans. I will not vote for someone else’s ambition. I will vote for change.
Words can be inspiring, no matter where one obtrain them; however at some point in time Obama will have to provide some substance as to what specifically he can do and will do as president to make those inspiring words become reality. Unfortunately in today’s world it is not fesibel for a person working in the mail room to be promoited to CEO of the company after only 1 or two years.
So, Obama borrows speeches from Governors, borrows economic plans from competitors, borrows rhetoric from preachers and people think he has a plan? He is the real life version of Peter Sellers in Being There.
It is hardly plagarism when the words and the spirit they embody come from the same movement for change. Deval Patrick is my Governor and I am so proud of that just as I will be proud of President Obama. When your opponent has no gas in the tank they get desperate. This is what happened to Deval Patrick and is now happening to Obama. Both of their candidates had the kind of rhetoric that bores one to sleep. Hillary is incapable of levity in her speeches and she’s getting nowhere with her baseless attacks. After 8 years of terrible presidential rhetoric, not to mention, dreadful policies, the American people deserve a lifting of the American spirit. Clinton is about as exciting as a coma and her campaign as inspiring as a dial tone. Words do matter Senator Clinton, you could’ve said “No” on the vote to authorize this misbegotten war. You chose the wrong word.
Hey, last time I heard, there’s no patent on the words both of these guys spoke. Freedom of speech means we can say what we want, when we want. And, isn’t it hillary dismissing barack’s speechs as just words, NOW they have importance because she can use them to attack him? How pathetic. She is desperate if she’s stooping this low. I am embarassed for her…she shames us and our country. I’m glad she’s showing us one more reason NOT to vote for her. keep it coming hillary. You gave us the sword!
“Unfortunately in today’s world it is not fesibel for a person working in the mail room to be promoited to CEO of the company after only 1 or two years.”
Don’t forget that Obama has more elected experience than Mrs. Clinton.
Of course he plagiarised another persons speech. Obama is nothing more than an empty suit full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. And his “followers” are just as vapid and vacuous as he is. Win your election, fools, gain the power all you want, and later, after nothing has really “CHANGEed”, and the nation is totally f—-d up by you brainless twits, then that’s when we will all sit back and wish that we had voted for John McCain, even Hillary, but it will be TO LATE…
Empty rhetoric, MSNBC, and George Soros… what more else does a bunch leftist. fascist need in their sick and twisted infatuation of Obama for President, or “black Jesus’, as I like to call him.
I don’t need another messiah, thank you, I already have one, and he didn’t have to lie and cheat to get “His” message across. Wake up Democrats, and stop your betrayal of the Clintons!!! You know what to do when you go into that voting booth, so go ahead and cheer, swoon, faint and scream like a teenager at a concert, pretend and enjoy the Obama party for now, but vote Hillary or John McCain, {a “real” man of accomplishment}, when the time comes.
Don’t be a stupid, flavor of the month Judas, EXPERIENCE is what we need right now, not an empty headed “rock star”.
I call shenanigans.
The speech the Gov. gave wasn’t his words either for crying out loud. Did he reference who spoke them before he did? No. If Obama said it word for word what the Gov. said that would be one thing, but he didn’t. This is another made-up arguement that only makes Hillary look worse.
Big deal. This isn’t the first time this has happened, but last time it was Duvall Patrick using Obamas words. They talk policy and strategy all the time; they are friends.
At the same time, Patrick’s and Obama’s campaigns have been sensitive about mirroring each other too closely.
Obama, in his Senate race, used the well-worn phrase “Yes, we can!” as a rallying cry.
After Patrick employed the same phrase at a state Democratic Convention in 2005, a reporter alerted the campaign that it was Obama’s signature line, and they went back to the drawing board, said Dan Payne, a Democratic strategist working for Patrick at the time. (Patrick would adopt “together we can” instead.)
To the IDIOTS in this thread that think Obama STOLE Patrick’s words -
the two WORKED TOGETHER.
They’ve already said they would BORROW PHRASES from each OTHER’S SPEECHES. Patrick ALREADY SAID THIS.
This is another NON-STORY from the Clintons.
Pathetic.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a hillary fan either. My point is, it’s not a matter of who has held elective office longer. What have either of them done that qualifies them to be President? Talk is cheap..it is time to lay the cards on the table and give the voters some specific information as to what they have done, what they would like to get done as president, and more importantly how specifically they will work with congress to get it done. Most of the speeches one hears fails to mention that the president can’t get it done alone!
First of all his name is Barak Obama not Barry.
Lets look at our outher choices shaall we.
Choice 1: A geriatric has-been known for his unstable temperent and pro-war stance. More of the current administration.
Choice 2: A middle aged ball breaker who comes with all the baggage of the past and a husband who very likely will not stay out of the news if you know what I mean.
Using lines from other politician’s play books, is a standard practice in American Politics. Acting like this is suddenly off limits is hilarious… Nobody reinvents the wheel. Hell, Republicans have been ripping off Reagan for years, Dems take from Jack and Bobby Kennedy, Blacks from MLK, etc…
By the way… 1stResponder, who said, “what more else does a bunch leftist. fascist need in their sick and twisted infatuation of Obama for President…”
Just for the record, this is a very common mistake people make and I see it written often, but being on the left, lets say the hard left is Communism, or Socialism. But Fascism is located on the hard right of the political spectrum. Albeit that both hard left and hard right turn into tyrannical forms of government, they are completely opposite concepts… Not that a moron, with the written skills of a fifth grader like yourself, would be inclined to care, or even understand where the distinction occurs…
We all know that Gov Patrick also promised “change & hope”, but has failed to deliver any thing substential to Massachusetts so far. The best (worst)economic plan he has come up with is putting a couple of Casinos. We expected better than that from him. Mass. learnt it’s lesson and supported Hillary for delivering “solutions”…
Wow, Busted! Imagine if this came out during the Presidential election in October? He would be fried by the Republicans. Obama is not ready for prime time yet…Rookie mistake to try to be someone else, since he doesn’t really know yet what he wants to be when he grows up.
This as compared to 700 FBI files in the White House in the custody of a Hillary appointee. He’s unqualified. She’s …………. Pick your poison.
You’ve got to be kidding? The press waisting time and energy on this? The Clintons THAT hard up to win? At absolutely no cost, no mercy, no pride? This finger pointing makes me laugh at the total desparation the Clintons will attempt. My vote for Hellary went from zero to minus zero. What’s next? Obama’s too tall, too skinny, too black? Oh, yes they already tried the black card and failed. And remember, IF Obama is elected he will become the second Black President, not the first….LOL
How dare they question “GOD.” Vote OBAMA 2008
Hillary is so desperate to change the dynamics of the campaign that she is willing to do anything, to say anytime and to promise anything. Right now we see Hillary using her great big bag of dirty tricks, which include lies, and half-truths to trying to weaken the strong.
Hillary has been in Washington so long, there is no longer any truth left in her.
Obama 2008
I’m sorry, but the Clinton campaign gets more sadly desperate every day. It is bad enough that they have used Rove-esk tactics of disinformation and personal smearing, but it is clear they are grasping at straws here since she cannot complete on substance.
I voted for Bill Clinton twice and have sadly lost all respect for both the Clintons in the course of this campaign. It is an embarrassment to see how low they will go to scratch and claw their way back to the White House.
Where were all you democrats with your Clinton bashing BACK WHEN IT MATTERED!!!! TERI!!! That’s what I mean by calling you leftist Hypocrites, a bunch of lost, pathetic people lookimg for a “new” messiah, when the real one’s been here all along.
You’re a fool to put your faith in any one man,{or woman}, but isn’t that what “leftist America” is all about. We do love our Paris Hiltons, our OJs, Our Obamas. Flavor of the month…
What in the world is Barack thinking! Imagine! Would hillary prefer that she used bill clinton’s famous words, “I did not have sex…”….
Sorry, this is a serious problem for Obama depending on how much the press picks up on it and runs. I’m a little surprised that such a well run campaign would allow this kind of mistake. To put in so much effort and then to risk it all in a Biden-like move like this is just short of astonishing. We will know over the next few days if it matters or not.
Can anyone imagine the Clintons or their campaign accusing anyone of shenanigans? They are so shameless.
And as for Mrs Clinton’s experiences. She was a first lady times three and a N.Y. senator does this make her more qualified by Mr Obama?
Howard Wolfson be care! With this article on the front page of the Drudge, Is your message “Kill Hope!”?
We are all on the same Team Howard? Your team is taking voters for granted by thinking all of Obama supporters will vote for Hillary after all the mud your team has thrown Obama’s way? After seven years of war in Iraq, We don’t need the type of war you are bringing to this election!
Hillary was better when she was standing on her own two feet without these attacks against fellow Democrats.
Big Lousy deal, this is Clintoons way of deflecting the news from Fingering Pointing Bubba who makd an a** of himself yesterday. Nothing more nothing less.
Does this mean Barack and Hillary aren’t friends and we won’t have our Dream Team?
This man is an Obama-nation!
“I have a dream…” was a phrase used (multiply, for rhetorical purpose) by Martin Luther King in one of his most famous speeches, half a century back in our national history.
Virtually all great speeches, as well as lesser addresses, are derivatives of countless generations of other speeches and writings by earlier persons. Language itself, in its essence, is a magnificent living tree that branches and branches repeatedly from an ancient intuitive trunk and system of roots, while reaching for infinity, and the supreme music of human feeling that plays on the instruments of our metaphors.
In this sense we are all one mind or river of thought and feeling, whose waters draw from myriad streams and rivulets in the communal soul of the entire human race.
Such echoic remembrance reminds us of what we really are: one great spirit of being and becoming, a helix that lives at once in its transcendence and its eternal re-discovery of itself.
— Patrick Gunkel
Princeton, New Jersey
Obama sounds even worse. Even his empty rhetoric is not his own. Just Stolen Words.
Patrick and Obama both stole their respective speeches, otherwise they’d have resorted to their official language…..EBONICS !!
When the man who’s word were lifted seems to give his permission the situation ceases to become one of plagiarism.
Furthermore in response to a comment left last night, leftists and fascists are fundamentally different things. Fascists believe the government, in its infinite wisdom, should treat the people as though they were subordinate. Leftists believe that the people elect the government and therefore should be served by said institution. It would be a far more educated yet still slightly off argument to align socialism with the liberal mind set.
What people of the ilk more likely to condemn Obama based on a thin resume seem to forget is that a President is not alone supposed to dictate policy. He is involved in a constitutional exchange of checks and balances with two other branches of our government. Hillary, despite a padded and lengthy list of prior experience, has a very explosive relationship with the Right Wing whereas Obama has been involved and effective with bipartisaned brokerage on Senate bills. By electing him president we can rely on an established network reaching across party lines in addition to a positive reaction worldwide.
And as an aside – I think. I just thought a certain poster would like to know that, considering their constant claims that we Obama supporters fail to use our brains. :)
TVH, the phrase ” ordnary people doing extraordinary feats/things cannot be stolen, almost every human being with a goal and a brain have echoed those words.
Yea, you sound like Obama, Kat, smooth words, but dumb as hell.
There is no difference between fascist and leftist, if you’ve bothered to study both. Both believe that GOVERNMENT, not the INDIVIDUAL, knows what’s best for you and me, and BOTH stifle freedom, individualism, and SELF DETERMINATION.
They also have one other thing in common with each other, the deaths of tens of millions of innocent lives over the last century.
What’s with you people?Huh?? you twist everything into some perverted ideology in your small minds, and truth, the facts, they just get in the way, don’t they?
Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Chavez, Castro, etc.,etc.,etc.,. Fascist, leftist, lunatics, yeh, I can sure see the difference between them… Kat…
This is so minor. Clinton’s campaign is beyond desparate to focus on it.
Let’s look to definitions so as we can avoid petty comments like “dumb as hell” which, by the way, only pave way to an argument holding no water.

So no, facts don’t get in the way – they support my claim. But thanks for your input.
Barry Obama and Deval Patrick: birds of feather flock together. The fact that these two snake oil salesmen are friends should come as no surprise.
Hope means different things for different people but apparently the Obama Cult ™ thinks there is only one definition based on the “teachings of Generalissimo Barry Obama.” Viral videos, repetitive rhetoric designed by committee doesn’t change that fact that Mr. Obama’s vision of “hope” is the same old tired version of higher taxes, cradle to grave mentality, entitlement programs, and the expansion of the Federal Nanny State.
I think it’s great to finally see the real Hillary. She’s been hiding behind all this inevitable nomination hoopla until she finds herself trailing. Now the Politics of Personal Destruction has surfaced. Hillary’s the bigger hypocrite borrowing from Barack.(”I’m Fired Up & Ready to Go and Are you Ready for change?). It’s pure desperation. To plagiarize Ali, who was once asked how he would defend against an opponent trying a new fight style against him? He said that “All I have to do is hurt him. People go back to what’s natural when they’re hurt”.
