No...This is what happens when you have some fighting for the presidential candidacy.........

This is verbal plagiarism? is that what I am supposed to be thinking?????

It seems that all three of those videos are justified....Sounding alike, yes, and word for word in one or two cases... but if you believe in someone else's words, why not use them????

Now if you'd like to get down to brass tax, The last speech was also plagiarized from a few other speech givers in the past........

Sorry... I just see it as a slam from one Democrat towards another.......

Eh, Obama doesn't read speeches anyway, he speaks from the heart, or was it the hype ...

*Party like a Rockstar !

I'm not slamming nor endorsing. Just showing what is out there. I like to let others come up with their own thoughts and such. I could show this video as well. And let you judge from there.

This is Obama showing a person feinting from his speech more than once. He offers the person water more than once. It could be real. It could be fake. It's up to us to be objective.

I had audacity to post a similar piece of hope here, although it's short of any accurate descriptor so it's easy to overlook ...

I believe Obama can speak on the fly without a script and do just fine. If the words of his buddy Deval Patrick mirror his own thoughts and he was encouraged to use them when appropriate, why not? The point is, he doesn't NEED to steal phrases from others; he's extremely sharp and well spoken on his own, unlike the current resident of the White House. This is much ado about nothing and looks like just what it is- desperately grasping at anything, no matter how trivial, to try to derail his candidacy. It's not gonna work.

Hey you're right, he's a good speaker, as a matter of fact he's clean and articulate too according to Joe Biden, so, what's he selling anyway, aside from hope ?

I haven't been impressed with Bush in years although I did vote for him twice, and knowing that he can't run again there is going to be change no matter what the outcome is - so aside from the fact that there will be change, which is obvious, what are the specifics of the change that Obama is selling ?

He sure is packing them in, grasping at anything ...
