if you read real news you would know that obama and deval patrick are colleagues and Deval has used Obamas lines as well. AND clinton has stolen Obama's "yes we can" and "fired up and ready to go" on several occasions… but since you dont know that journalists are supposed to remain unbiased you wouldn't post that, would you?

I guess Obama's speeches aren't part of the "change" agenda.

CAUGHT!
Margarita says – reply to this

Obama is using someone else's lines with their permission, paying tribute to those original words. I don't see the problem. I mean, I actually voted for Clinton, and yet even for me, all this emphasis on his speeches and so-called "plagiarism" strikes me as cheap and desperate.

Perez, is Clinton paying you for this?
You should also reference some Obama's rhetoric being borrowed by Ms Clinton herself. Talk about an Uh-oh.

Instead of tearing down each candidate (which I hypocritically have just), lets talk about issues. Lets create a dialogue of progress.

Ha, Perez, you're pathetic. Why no news about Hillary refusing to release her tax returns?
God says – reply to this

25

Shut the fuck up Perez. He had permission to use words from Deval's speech and your bitch Hillary copies stuff too so don't be such a dick unless you're willing to show both sides.

ILovePapaSmurf says – reply to this

27

Oh, Hillary has stolen speeches from plenty of people and it has been brought to light. I love how you just post Obama's vids. It happens.

Oh, and by the way, these two guys are friends and have talked extensively about running a political campaign. I'm pretty sure he's helping Obama write his speeches, too.

Get off of Hill's jock. You're better than that.

This is the lamest attack against anyone EVER!!!
Its so obvious Hillary and her supporters are desperate for ANYthing against Obama! But its not making anyone retract their vote! Instead its making everyone making these accusations look petty and stupid!!!

What are you gonna do if (and when) Obama gets the Dem nomination?? You are gonna have to eat all your words and support him. Unless you really want us to believe you will support McCain??

seriously dude…he's been given permission…they're old friends. You're poor attempt at mudslinging is laughable. Obama has this…Hillary's been tainted by the process.

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dee says – reply to this

55

VOTE FOR OBAMA!
erin says – reply to this

56

Hmmm. Sounds strange to me. So, not only does Obama have NO experience, and is completely unequipped to run this country during a time of war. But, he also plagiarizes and doesn't even have all original speeches. Isn't that his whole thing? Being able to inspire and move everyone with his beautiful words? WAKE UP LIBERALS, BOTH OF YOUR CANDIDATES ARE A J-O-K-E!

VOTE MCCAIN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You keep calling it plagerizing, but the problem is - both of them openly admit they share speaches and ideas with eachother. That's not really plagerizing.
Courtney says – reply to this

what f*** ever. it's two sentences. big deal.
GO HILLARY says – reply to this

62

I hate obama
nicole says – reply to this

63

Shut your trap perez. Hilary supporters are just trying to dig up shit on him to distract people from the fact that she's LOOSING. Can't believe you even support her…
ft says – reply to this

64

What is wrong with his speech writers??!!! Cant they do their homework??He is running for president for petes sake!!
barbara says – reply to this

65

youre being paid and you fucking suck ass. use your popularity to bash on republicans because you're clearly for democrats. stop bringing down one candidate who wants similar things for our nation as the woman whose putting money in your already fat pockets.

YES WE CAN.
Jason says – reply to this

66

All fluff and no real stuff!
Steve says – reply to this

67

Dude, Perez…This is not plagiarism. If it was an entire speech I would understand, but two lines that sound exactly the same can be coincidence. Dam, you are one stupid, pink-haired, uneducated dude.

Oh Perez, is Castro still dead? BREAKING NEWS!!! please….
B.O. SMELLS LIKE OPRAH'S COOCHIE! says – reply to this

He's gonna single-handedly bring back the N word he keeps actin' like that!

Pathetic anyway….
Lisa says – reply to this

Deval Patrick sucks just like Obama Mama
What the fuck people? says – reply to this

71

Just because he had permission it is ok?

Since Barack went to Harvard, he should know this. If a famous writer (Steven King) gave permission to plagiarize his work, and Barack submitted it to a professor, does it make it ok?

I rest my case.
Asshole says – reply to this

72

Serious Perez, just fucking stop. Stop bashing Obama and fuck off, you know nothing about politics..stick to celeb gossip.
uhmm says – reply to this

73

Mr. Obama also used the ideas with permission, as Mr. Patrick had already stated.
amy says – reply to this

74

Perez! why dont you post Hilary's shortcomings? If all that Obama bashers can find is this silly speech thing i can see they are really scared of the man
lulu says – reply to this

Obama will make an incredible president and unite the country. You on the other hand, are turning me off of your site. I come to read gossip, not your biased political opinion.
BLo says – reply to this

Re: okay….. – And I assume you are his speech writer? GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R says – reply to this

77

I really don't like this. I was running away from Obama back when he rallied for Deval, then after he was elected as my states governor, and made health insurance mandatory (sllllaaaaaamming poor families) Obama said Deval made the wrong move, then a couple weeks later said it was the right progressive move… and has gone baaack and forth over this issue, depending on what audience he's in front of…?

If I were running for president I wouldn’t position myself near a man, I, a MA voter, voted for because he promised HOPE for the lower and middle class, then screwed us over and hasn’t applied ANY of the points he made while running for election. I THINK WE NEED A REAL PERSON, WHO WILL USE THEIR OWN WORDS, USING SOMEONE ELSE’S FALSE PROMISES DOESN’T REFLECT WELL!!!!!!!
