This deserves its own thread. I predict it's going to be a BFD whether it needs to or not. Hillary is already pouncing on it, per Drudge.

I'm tired of this country being run by two families.
Besides, name one person outside of the Pope that's never plagerized on something before.

I brought this up in the Obama Dirty Laundry thread, but apparently it is no big deal since all Obama did was use someone else's speech from a couple of years back and pass it off as his own.

Basically, what happened is that the speechwriter stole from himself. But it's not going to be viewed that way."There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."

I was bored yestereday and made up this speech. See if you guys like it. I was a little drunk, thought, so don't judge me too harshly.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law ~

Originally posted by kennyboyerfan View PostMaybe. For Obama, this is the absolute worst possible moment for this to happen. Media is already focused on the "What do we really know about this guy?" issue. Hillary's been saying he's nothing more than words, and now we find out (she'll say) the words aren't even his own. And right now there are probably 10,000 Clinton staff members combing through every speech Obama has given for evidence that he's done this before.
