Difference being Bush meant it?

[SkyDancer]

Yes, but he didn’t know it. It’s somebody else’s fault. /sarc

[moovova]

Well, of course Obama plagiarized Bush’s speech.

If his pronouncements fail to turn out, Obama can blame you know who.

BO has never accomplished a thing in his miserable life. He’s never invented, manufactured, designed, written or verbalized an original idea or thought. This is all that needs to be in any article about him.

Barack Obama and George Bush have at least one thing in common when it comes to the second terms they won — the first year of their encores have been downers when it came to their public images. Both experienced falloffs in overall job approval and in Americans’ perceptions of their leadership, ability to get things done and trustworthiness.

Difference here is given the same time frames of both administrations, at this point the media was CONSTANTLY touting the death count of our soldiers, politicians spouting over and over "worst economy since the great depression!!", everything wrong was Bush's fault, etc..etc. Contrast that to sparky's today; everything he does is "fabulous!!!", he is a visionary, he is pulling for the little guy, etc..etc. obama is just a loser even with a culpable media covering for him.

Plagiarism? I guess Obama is trying to emulate Martin Luther King, Jr.

RE :"It was eerily familiar. There were lines like, “Our job is to help Americans build a future of hope and opportunity. A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy. A future of hope and opportunity requires our citizens have affordable and available health care.” “Extending opportunity and hope depends on a stable supply of energy.” All of that came from the 2007 State of the Union address by George W. Bush. So, Barack Obama has gone from blaming George W. bush to plagiarizing George W. Bush"

He never mentions GWB by name in the negative anymore, he just says '... inherited...' or '...when I took office..''

They knew what they were doing.

Which means they wanted us to pick it apart so they could then say it’s the exact language of Bush’s speech and we were okay with it then.

Case in point, now that it’s been shown to be the disaster we all knew it would be, they’ve been claiming obamacare is a Republican plan.

What would you expect from a person who’s resume is A Community Organizer?

There are only so many phrases in the contemporary politician's platitude and cliche filled vocabulary.

There are no more Churchills or Reagans.
