Such occurred a couple of years ago when reading an account of a campaign appearance by then-candidate Obama.
Does anyone remember this report from early November 2008? "At a Virginia rally -— 'If you’ll stand with me, then I know that we can win Virginia and we can win this election and we can finally bring the change we need to Washington,' Obama told the estimated crowd of 35,000. 'I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here.'”
Upon checking, one finds this quote from Chairman Mao:
“The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.”
Was this a mere contribution by Anita Dunn from her favorite "go to philosopher" or was it just familiar reading which crept into the candidate's remarks in Virginia?
In the case of the Oval Office rug, apparently original sources weren't consulted, and that's a shame in the interest of scholarship and credibility.
Was this rug designed by noted plagiarist Joe Biden?
Is it a prayer rug?
Job 38:4-7 (New King James Version)
4 “ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7 When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Why would ML King’s quotes be alongside those of real presidents in the Oval Office? Should we throw in a token Hispanic and woman as well? WTF?
In the ‘constitutional professor’s’ office.
Incompetent .. through and through.
Dumb and dumber are running the place...

And how 'bout those Arabian palace or African ministry looking tall standards with ridiculous crystal teardrops?
With the cheesy drapes, it's the perfect ambiance for a 3rd world potentate.
thanks STARWISE!

I have a hard time deciding if the OB is incompetent or devious. Perhaps a combination of both.
When I was growing up we looked at folks like that as LOW LIFES........When W and Laura left...the class went with them....the ghetto queen entered...you know what they say...you can take the gal out of the ghetto but not the ghetto out of the gal.....once a hood always a hood...shameful...
what a goof! lol lol lol
I would be 100 times happier having the Beverly Hillbillies living next to me that these stupid Harvard types. I liked those yokels
