News Item: Obama Accused of Plagiarizing Speech
I'm not seeing what the big deal is here. He didn't "plagiarize" anything word-for-word, and the man who gave the similar speech, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, is a supporter and friend of Obama who himself does not object to it- and has the same friggin' speechwriter. And besides, Obama has admitted on the stump before that he and Patrick borrow lines from each other. It is, after all, just words.
