Obama did indeed plagiarize the speech

Or maybe his speech writer did. Who knows? But the speeches are obviously much too coincidental for this to be an ambiguous claim. The evidence speaks for itself.

The real issue here is do you care?

Because I believe this is going to backfire on Clinton if she and her friends in the mainstream media push it.

People don't care about whether or not Mr. Obama lifted parts of his speeches from a fellow supporter of his.

People care about Clinton's Iraq war vote, her membership in the DLC, her ties to and donations from huge corporations.

People care about their jobs, their health care, their sons and daughters stuck in Iraq.

I, for one, can forgive Mr. Obama for being a plagiarist. I can't forgive Ms. Clinton, though, for being responsible for almost 4000 dead soldiers, tens of thousands more who lost limbs, and millions of innocent civilians killed.

So go ahead, Clintons. Continue to focus on this nonsense. Mr. Obama is made of teflon, in case you haven't noticed yet.
