Did Michelle Obama Also "Borrow" For Her 2008 Speech
Zero Hedge ^ | 7/19/16 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/19/2016 2:15:09 PM PDT by Nachum

Today's political press has been captivated by the alleged plagiarism by Melania Trump, who is said to have stolen fragments of a speech delivered by Michelle Obama in 2008. The sections in question are the following:

Melania Trump (July 2016): “My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect.

Michelle Obama (August 2008): “And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.

MT: “They taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son.

MO: “And Barack Obama and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generations.

MT: “And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow, because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

MO: “Because we want our children, and all children in this nation, to know that the only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

Since you KNOW why the MSM controls this narrative and is amping it up to keep YOUR list from the Public conscience and from talking about the OTHER speakers who literally called Hillary “a Killer” who should be in prison, and a Liar, etc., etc.

-—you should be laughing. IT is SOOOO obvious to anyone with a brain why *this* is even making “the news” when we have cops dead, illegals raping children, etc.

I find it humorous......how this garbage can control the narrative all the time. But knowing Marxists: They can’t afford a serious logical debate where the Truth might be exposed to their ignorant followers. It is always about bathrooms, inane subjects, which obfuscate the REAL issues like illegal invasion, unconstitutional laws, Black Marxist racism, killing babies and selling baby-parts, special unconstitutional “rights” (LOL) for irrational, vulgar sex acts and mutilation of the body and drugging of it, etc.

Great Post.

And I’m sure we will see Pat Smith in a commercial ad for Trump.

And in 2016, if you didn’t at least catch the highlights of the convention on smartphone, laptop, tablet, notebook etc., you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

RUDY!!! :)

FLOTUS Michelle Obama is famous for this quote: “This is the first time in my life that I am proud of my country.”

I have not forgotten. I have not forgiven.

Not for nothing and I’m just now hearing or reading this crap-oh-la about the speeches, which sound similar to statements many of us have given about our upbringing.

Still, Trump owns the news for a pittance and so far seems a savvy campaigner.

No one else gets this much free air...

Since 1801 the motto of the London Stock Exchange has been “dictum meum pactum” which is Latin for “My word is my bond”. The American actor Melvyn Douglas who died in 1981 said “Your word is your bond”.

It appears that Michelle did some plagiarism of her own and if you believe that then Melania hijacked a thief. This old saw has been around for 200 plus years.

Since Melania Trump’s speech was praise for Donald, and the SUPPOSED plagiarism was from Michelle Obama, obviously Michelle must have praised Donald as well.

I never knew Mrs. Obama liked Donald that much. :)

OK, lame joke, but it’s actually what came to my mind.
