    I don't know. He hasn't tried to pass it off as his own yet. So let me know when he does.

    Did he credit Patrick during his Wisconsin speech? No he did not. Not only that, but he came out and said he should have credited him. How are you arguing with Obama's own statement?

    Again, he's said clearly that it was from Deval Patrick. Let me know when he tries to pass something off as his own that isn't.

    He said that after the fact, when he got called out on it. That's totally different. He tried to take credit for it himself.

    Deval Patrick has said that they shared that stuff, and has no problem with what was done.

    Please let me know when there's a real scandal.

    TIA

    The difference is that Joe Biden plagiarized, and Obama had permission to use the words he used.

    That has no bearing on the fact that he tricked Wisconsin voters into thinking that those words were his. They were not his words, they were Patrick's. He tried to pass off a lie.

    yawn. sorry, this one's not catching on for GOP or Hillary.

    Next contrived, mountain-to-molehill, Obama-as-antichrist thread please.

    Interesting to see the continuing growth of fear he causes the GOP though. It's as if he even effects their regularity.

    nice try, and yes having permission to use the words have everything to do with it.

    Speechwriters are used in speeches without credit being given all the time. The fact that you have to stretch so far in order to find anything at all to throw at Obama shows your desperation.

    Relax. Don't get so worked up. I'm sure it will all be ok, no matter what.

    You can't plagiarize yourself though. . .

    I love seeing traderbigtexxbassojeffster get all worked up over Obama. He owns their dreams.

    I'm sure that Merriam Webster guy could sue Obama because all of those words he uses are in his book.

    lol it's not the same act. I disapprove of a man sucking another man's weiner. I strongly approve of a woman sucking a man's weiner

    I must have really struck a nerve with you....

    Bigotry always strikes a nerve. Fellatio is fellatio. It is indeed the same act. Your bigotry has been exposed again.

    Nope. You're wrong. There is a large difference (especially in my case, lol) between a man and a woman.

    I've thwarted your attempt to smear me, yet again. Nice try, though.

    by the way - I've noticed you've become very angry of late. Everything OK at home?

    There has been no anger at all. Thanks for your concern though.

    Of course there is a personal difference, but there is no technical difference. I don't need to thwart you, just point out your bigotry.

    What about his racial makeup bothers you so much? You can't resist using the half-black phrase at every turn. It says a lot more about you than it does about Mr. Obama.
