On Obama plagiarizing speeches and others...

How ironic, that for Barack Obama the Dem candidate who runs on nothing much other than fancy words, speeches, and his "movement", to now find himself trying to explain away how he could have lifted from a speech from his fellow black politician Deval Patrick, the Massachusetts governor, without giving credit to Patrick. In other words, Prof Obama plagiarizes. That's the word John McCain and Hilary Clinton have for Obama, in his copying of Clinton's economic plans.

I have no doubts that those young Obama supporters would hear nothing of these. Afterall, their support and belief of Obama require shallow examination at best, of his records, accounts, and plans. So, to tell them that their "hero" is nothing more than a mirage and an empty-talker, I'm sure they would have none of that.

But for those "undecided" voters, and those who really care about the real ability of the candidate, I hope this serves as a wake-up call to them, at least to get them aware of the fact that relying on rhetoric itself can be a dangerous thing, and with Obama, his words are not even authentic.
