Critics Accuse Obama of Plagiarism - What Do You Think?
"Senator Barack Obama adapted one of his signature arguments — that his oratory amounts to more than inspiring words — from speeches given by Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts during his 2006 campaign."
What do you think -- is this plagiarism by Obama, or not?
Update: The plagiarism charge definitely seems to have originated in the Clinton campaign, and Obama is trying to fire back by claiming that Hillary Clinton stole some of his lines, too:
The Obama campaign immediately struck back with a document headlined: "Here are a couple of places Clinton freely borrowed rhetoric from Obama."
Among the examples are Clinton's use of Obama's signature chant "fired up and ready to go" in Davenport, Iowa, and later her echoing of his rally cry, "Yes, we can!"
