Now it starts for Obama, finally. Next he will charge Clinton with plagiarism for saying "Vote for me." Said the Tin Man to the Scarecrow, "I think it's going to get worse before it gets better."

It's common to use phrases that you hear that are catchy. In fact I think we all can think of words or phrases that if you hear one more time you think you will puke. ie. Awesome,dude,like totally, snap, true that etc.

Right from the beginning, Obama has been a man for "CHANGE". But now all candidates are for change, even including McCain. Do I need to say more?????

The problem with Obama's words, aside from the fact that htye arent his, it is that they just are words..His words dont call into action in stopping foreclosures, getting people healthcare, stopping oil dependency. So as awesome some of the words are - the words that he has borrowed had a bigger impact from other leaders becuase they were more than just vote for me..They actually provided solutions..

Obama is starting to sound like a little boy in kindergarten who is crying because Hillary took his milk. There is no copyright on "catch" phrases. He plagiarized an entire speech, but he turns on Hillary for using his catch phrases. How juvenile. This man is not Presidential material.

Obama is using same technique as rappers. They get sampling of melody or tunes that stick and make it their own. Same old stuff only different artist. From the get go, I do not really see anything original about Obama. You could find lots of his phrases from self-help books or motivational speakers. People should just go to therapy if they want this kind of talk and elect someone more qualified.

Is this man a baby geez, he was caught big time using Patrick's words rather than he leaves it alone and sit down and write something to show that he can do so he come off like a spoil kid pointing fingers 'look mommy she does it to", as the days go by I really wonder what exactly it is that some of you feel this man can bring to the office of President. Such petty and childish behavior coming from a grown man , Obama suck it up and move on, look at all the swipes Hillary has taken, I cant believe that you are letting a woman outshine you in the maturity departmenet, maybe Obama will go running home and cry to Michelle.

Obama has stolen an entire speech ,used words to his convenience and hads the audacity to attack Hillary on catch phrases.What a low act.He should apologize or quit the race...

It is true that Clinton has copied Obama's words many times in her campaign.such as yes, we will; fired up and ready to go; turn the age etc. These are OBAMA slogans. It is very shameful for the Clinton's supporters to bring these things out.

I left Obama at REZCO. No more need for garbage on this empty suite.

OMG, can we find something better to discuss..something that means something to someone other than a bunch of talking heads

Obama is not only words but they are other people's words. He cries change but has accepted more money from lobbyists than any presidential candidate in history. Wake up people you are falling for a dog and pony show!

Either you guys are the least educated people in the world or you have never heard FDR say that; or MLK; or JFK- Hillary stole her line about the statue of liberty from a poem at the same dinner. Educate yourself people, do not let others influence your perceptions at a whim.

Are some of you sleeping the issues is not coping a line from someone the man took the entire speech of Patrick and recited it word for word all he did was change around the order on the presentation. If Obama wants to come off as this great leader in the likes of MLK and that is what he is pretending to be, but MLK wrote his own stuff he did not need to copy or get pointers from others to make a speech. Now that you all are caught in this hoodwinking exercise some of you are making excuses to cover up his faults, he pretended to be something he is not, he used another man's words then claimed he makes great speeches, if he was this talented why did he need to do it that is the first question, and they other is how far is he willing to go to pretend that he is one way and not the other just to get the post of President.

The story about Obama are his speeches which inspire people. Now, we find out that those same words are the words of another politican who used them in another campain. Those words did not wholly come to his mind because he felt them but because he heard another politician use them (and win).

Was he not the one to say that Hillary will do and say anything to win looks as if he better rethink that position because that claim sure looks like its falling at his doorstep now

All you Obama university folks try and use someone else's entire speech or ideas in your written papers and then see what mark you get when the profs find out you stole someone else's ideas and words. Chances are you'd be kicked out of school.

Barack Obama tried to compare himself to Ronald Reagan, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King.

Barack Obama with his inexperience, is starting to remind us a Dan Quayle who tried to compare himself to John F. Kennedy in the 1988 debate. Senator Lloyd Bentsen responded to Dan Quayle with the famous quote:

"Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy, I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy."

Has anyone here bothered to listen to what he said. If he was stealing lines it was from King, Roosevelt, and Kennedy.

Both Patrick and Obama were responding to attacks on their ability to actually speak well...from desperate female candidates that were looking for an issues, any issue, to take them down a notch.

If you listened about 30 seconds of the speech were the same. Only Drudge seems to think this is a big deal.

Facts: Mr. Obama used an entire speech without mentioning to the public it was indeed someone else's speech. That is pure and simple plagiarism. He should apologize and drop out of the race now. "I give good speeches".. Yes, but they are someone else's words.
Doesn't matter if he and Deval are friends or not and even if he gave Obama permission to use his speech, he should have been given the proper credit.
