Obama: Well, I’m just as upset about this as you are! Make no mistake, I will get to the bottom of this.

Bush loved his country

If Bush loved the USA he would have stopped the illegal alien invasion. After 9/11 he could have stopped all immigration. Bush and his party had control of the whole federal government for six years and all they did was expand the power, scope, and cost of government. I don't think they rolled back, let alone ended, a single leftist program.

If Bush loved the USA I can't imagine what he would have done if he hated it.

The difference being Bush’s people had the imagination and intent to say it.
Don’t worry im sure it’s “bush’s fought” for just being ahead of his time. Or maybe Obama has failed to change anything in 5 years...

Did you try a word search:
“Our job is to help Americans build a future of hope and opportunity. A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy.” BO

Compare to:
“Our job is to make life better for our fellow Americans, and to help them build a future of hope and opportunity. And this is the business before us tonight.

A future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy, and that is what we have.”
GB State of the Union 2007, see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/23/AR2007012301075.html for this and other quotes from Bush.

“A future of hope and opportunity requires our citizens have affordable and available health care.” BO

Compare to:
“A future of hope and opportunity requires that all our citizens have affordable and available health care.” GB

“Extending opportunity and hope depends on a stable supply of energy.” BO

Compare to:
“Extending hope and opportunity depends on a stable supply of energy that keeps America’s economy running and America’s environment clean.” GB

Sorry - but this is not nonsense. Of course, Zero will blame his speechwriter (but not fire him or her) while claiming his simplified version was better.

Exactly. Even with the media covering up every bad thing about Obama, they can’t escape the reality of his actions.

I did a word search for hope and opportunity as separate words and didn’t locate those passages.

I searched for awhile.

You are right...that is blatant plagiarism.

Comrade obama must be having trouble finding a new scapegoat.
