Obama Borrowed Deval Patrick’s Lines.
On Monday Sen. Barrack Obama was accused by Hilary Clinton’s spokesman Howard Wolfson of plagiarizing Gov. Deval Patrick.
Obama argues that Wolfson was going to far by saying he plagiarized Patrick. Obama doesn’t think that he was wrong using Patrick’s
words because they share their ideas with each other all the time.
Over a year and a half ago Patrick used words, like “I have a dream” and “all men are created equal.” On Saturday night in Wisconsin
Obama used the same lines.
Obama said that Patrick suggested to him to use his lines when he responded to Clinton’s suggestion that he is more of a talker than a doer.
In my own personal opinion that Obama was wrong to plagiarized Patrick’s words, even if Obama argued that Patrick suggested it to him.
I also think that Hilary’s spokesman Howard Wolfson was right in saying that Obama should not have used Patrick’s words in his speech
against Hilary.
