Obama clearly ripped the guy off. I know this is a vanity post, but hopefully it will be allowed to stay in News/Activism, based on its merit, as well as the fact that it’s a Sunday night.

It doesn’t matter: Unless Barack Hussein Obama is caught with a live boy or a dead girl, he will occupy the Oval Office this time next year. God help us.

So who did Coupe Deval steal it from?

Did you watch the videos, though? They’re very short; this should turn into a bigger story, but with the lib media, I doubt it.

right now he seems to be untouchable. That doesn't mean he won't flame out later. The fainting is going to hurt him.

And I also notice Deval Patrick’s signs say “together we can”, which Obama changed to “yes we can”. Just a coincidence...

Both of them are puppets of the Democratic party.

The Dems think a good looking black (not too black) guy is a good candidate. They’ll convince the voters that they’re racist if they don’t vote for him.

I hope Obama isn’t as much of a disaster as Deval has been for Massachusetts.

Patrick’s slogan on the placards behind him: “Together We Can.”

Not much different from “Yes We Can.” One comment on youtube says they have the same speech writer.

It’s not really plagiarism. It’s like two receivers on an NFL team having the same playbook— it’s not unusual at all. They are sharing a brain, and they won’t even lie about it.

Plagiarism is a resume enhancement for the Democrats. Martin Luther King’s dissertation was plagiarized—nobody seems to care about that and the university declined to revoke his degree after confronted with the proof.

So Obama's excuse will be, "Hey, we have the same speechwriter!" Is he really that out of touch and paying no attention to anything around him, so much so that others have to bring it up for him?

Wow. One could say Obama has been “inspired” by the Gov of Massachusetts...but I think Joe Biden would be proud.

Of course the fact is that Deval Patrick is a strong supporter of Obama and MAY have suggested, given permission or encouraged the use of his speech...but still, it doesn’t set well, does it?

I’ve heard he’s already been caught with a live boy. I believe his name is Sinclair.

“Unless Barack Hussein Obama is caught with a live boy or a dead girl, ....”

Does that sort of thing still matter to Democrats?
