Title: Obama the Plagiarist
Post by: California Muscle on February 20, 2008, 01:21:10 PM

Anyone else recall how Joe Biden was laughed out of the running back in the 90s, when it was found that he plagiarized Neal Kinnock's speech? 

How is it that Obama's plagiarism has barely caused a stir?  Is it because we expect less from him?

If they're willing to ignore his plans and policies or lack there off..then a little plagiarism won't matter.

His speeches are not policy speeches for the most part--just like Ronald Reagan.  He's rallying the troops with his own brand of "Morning in America"..."Shining City on the Hill" etc.  Political platitudes work.

The narrative that he's a blank slate is bit histrionical.

Can anyone link Obama's plagiarism?

I don't think it was plagiarism.  Apparently, Mass Gov. Patrick told him to use his material.
