Sen. Barack Obama has been in the news for borrowing parts of a speech by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick recently; but has he also borrowed some of his famous oratory from California First Lady Maria Shriver?

Shriver, in numerous speeches given throughout California on women's issues and political issues -- including her annual Women's Conference -- has long employed a signature phrase cited from a Hopi Indian prayer: "We are the ones we have been waiting for.''

Does the man have one original idea?

LIBERALS are NEVER ORIGINAL.

Originality takes THINKING and LIBERALS only FEEL.

So that rules out originality.

If he is not reading from text or a teleprompter, he is a rambling wreck. I debates I have watched, after four or five sentences, I am confusded as to what he has said....

BTW, the next debate is scheduled for Thurs night, 8:00 pm on the Clinton News Network....

GREAT NEWS! I was just thinking how much I missed my teeth getting drilled. Now I can get the same feeling in the comfort of my own home :-)

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your gods name
Im every person you need to be
Im the cult of personality
Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
Ive been everything you want to be
Im the cult of personality
Like mussolini and kennedy
Im the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Which is why it was so stunning to see Hillary give him a total pass in the L.A. debate, after tearing him a new one in the South Carolina debate. Obama and Blitzer ended up tag-teaming her and she did not strike back once.

Yea, I noticed that. I wonder if she did not feel the need to pander a little to the "black" vote after their attempts in SC to inject race....Hence, the love fest....

Wasn't Hopi one of the languages our code talkers employed in WWII? No wonder I can't understand a damn thing Obama says.
