Obama Plagiarizes Speech
Filed under: Barack ObamaBarack Obama has been criticized for plagiarizing a speech during a campaign stop this past weekend and not being upfront about it.
The similarities between the Democratic presidential hopeful and a speech made by by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts, back in October 2006 are striking.
Barack blatantly copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Deval's "Just Words" speech for Obama's own "Words Matter" speech in Wisconsin.

shut the hell up perez. stop trying to smear him. you don't understand jack shit about politics. funn how you don't so much as scratch the surface of how incredibly corrupt and dishonest the clintons are. stick to what you know you dumb queen.
It doesn't matter that it was Perez that got this factual information to me. This has made me question Obama's character. I am voting for Hillary now.
Reasons NOT to vote Barack Obama:
-He gives speeches(Fake and real)NOT answers
-his middle name is Hussein
-his father is a muslim
It's not too late to make the right choice and vote for Hillary!
Hillary took $380,000 from Healthcare lobbyists, to STFU about healthcare reform.
Hillary Voted for authorization to go into Iraq.
Hillary is just shy of being a (D) to tha' (R) like LIEberman.
Hillary will NOT roll back Bush tax cuts (which only benefit top 1% of 1% pop.)
You might have insight into BritBrit, but your political savvy has all the brains of a water-head petting the fur off a puppy
Perez, YOU are a HYPOCRITE. You post on your site that you support Clinton and that you're not, by any means, trying to sway your readers to support her as well. You stated that what's important is for us to vote regardless on who it is, Obama or Clinton. YET, you turn around and slam Obama on stupid little things such as this. In case you haven't read by now, Patrick issued a statement regarding this issue. Obama did NOT plagiarize this speech. Patrick gave him permission– heck, he suggested it! I'm out of your site. You know nothing. Stick to kissing Paris Hilton's ass & lay off of political issues that you know nothing about!
did you read the stroy on this from the NYTimes? Patrick and Obama are close friends and often share rhetoric b/c they share similar ideologies. Patrick himslef said that he helped the Obama campaign with their speeches and he thinks he should not get any public credit for the speech b/c he says the message is transcendental. you are on the verge of me boycotting your site, perez. i'm sure i am NOT alone in that. you are part of the problem with politics - biased media. you should be ashamed.
Uhm, a little interesting that Perez is challenging someone on plagerism..
And it seems like something that's just a given… both African American men, both running for politics, both citing OTHER politicians quotes… I find it powerful, moving even. I think Deval should be HONORED that Barrack thought so highly of his speech to say something of a SIMILAR nature….
WORDS DO MATTER!!!
Perez, you know I love you, girl, but it is obvious that Obama is not stealing anything. He's paying tribute to his FRIEND. A FRIEND who would gladly let Obama borrow any words he wanted to inspire listeners.
You REALLY REALLY need to do research and believe everything you read. It may work for celebrity gossip, but politics is a whole different ball game, baby.
I have no problem if you are pro-Hilary but I am bothered when you start distorting information about Obama. I am going to have to start coming to this site. You have a right to say what you want; it is your site afterall but I also have a right to show my protest for your bias that has gone almost to the point of lying. In a New York Times article about this Deval says that he told Obama about this and they discussed it. Now because we need to drag down Obama because your candidate is behind he plagarizes. Every time Obama won a primary you were mum about it. I think others who support Obama should just stop coming to this site until it gets more fair. You may be a partisan for Hilary but don't try to defame Obama.
haha thats cuz they are both quoting the declaration of independance.."we hold these truths to be self-evidant…etc." thats a famous quote that tons of politicians use
Hi Perez, I don't usually comment but I have to say something about the way you are handling this. You have made it clear that you support Clinton and actually so do I. However, there are a lot of people who visit your site and I think you should consider the fact that you are a kind of news/media outlet and that with certain things (like the future of our country) you should make an effort to be objective to some extent and stop badgering Obama and putting a halo on Clinton.
If you want to support Clinton, show positive things about her…but don't shit on Obama and twist things around. It would be great if you can use this website politically and create a forum for discussion. But right now you are clearly using propaganda and being completely one-sided, making us Clinton supporters look desperate and trashy.
Have a great day darling!
King's speech is inspirational and pretty famous. Im sure parts of his original speech have been used several times by different politicians. I don't think OBAMA would plagarize a speech - that'd been kind of ridicilious… OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!
Re: Clay – and I am so sure Patrick got permission to use King's words
I'm boycotting PEREZ until he quits hating on Barack - and all Barack supporters should too!!! Lay off him Perez - and stick to the celeb gossip people come here for! No one cares about your political views!
Re: Revamped: Hilary Clinton is a cold-hearted lesbionic cunt –
Those words were far from appropose. Hillary, in the first place, never said words don't matter. It is a weak counter argument that doesn't even fit! People should start listening the politicians speeches and responsibly scrutinize it before making any conclusions.
if obama osama hussien gets the nomination we will have McCain as the next president since America won't elect a black person. Hillary at least stands a chance. She's the best person for the job with experience. Times in this country were good under Clinton. People just don't like her because they think she's a bitch. Well I'd rather have a bitch that can get things done and get this country back on track than a nice guy who can bullshit
You rock Perez! Thank you for being so awesome to post that. Obama is a PHONY. That is why I'm not voting for him. We need a president who tells the truth and who has substance. That's why I'm voting Hillary!
You slander Obama over and over now that you love Hilary. Why dont you post any of the mountains of negative news about her? All u can get against obama is that he and a past leader have quoted the most notable men in history to demonstrate that words really mean something.
By hating on Obama so biasly, you are alienating your readership.
VOTE FOR HILLARY!
But aren't you going to post about Hillary's plagiarism? CNN is covering it. That kind of pisses me off, Perez, and I really like you. Do a better job covering both sides or I'll read something else.
Re: Andrea – BYE!! YOU WON'T BE MISSED!
stop fucking hating on obama
perez i usually love this site but the obama bashing is getting so freaking old. seriously who are you to make political comments?? stick with making fun of britney and posh things you know about. it's getting to the point where i just won't even come back on this site.
u just lost a fan perez! don't mess with obama!!
NI.G.G.Z ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER AND STEAL YOUR MONEY. OBAMA IS A FAKE !!!

I find it interesting that he is defending himself from Hilary in that very speech.
I also find it interesting that you can find the same nicknames of celebrities and what not on other gossip sites as this one. Might want to check your own industry before making judgments on other more important news.
I have been watching Obama since the so call wins he won and now im just gunna vote Hillary ….you runs like a player except he has no game….Hillary seems to lay out everything in detail way before everyone else
switching from Obama to Hillary
GO HIllary
I doubt he wrote the speech anyway. It's called a speech writer dumbasses.
alright i think im done coming to perezhilton.com later
I was hoping Obama would win, but now I don't. Every week there's something new that comes out showing what a fake idiot Obama is. He's worse then George W. Bush! Could you imagine letting this seemingly incapable man of running the USA?
Get with it, Perez. Why do you have to twist everything to pander to your little friend Hillary? Even Patrick himself in an official statement said this: “Senator Obama and I are long-time friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language. The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Senator Clinton, I applaud him responding in just the way he did.”
LEAVE HIM ALONE. This is the worst kind of hypocrisy. You were an Obama fan, what, 3 weeks ago? Get a fucking life, and a haircut.
Now I know im voting HILLARY
Besides her hubby was great
Perez some of the best known, world renowned speakers have plagiarized speeches. Including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. You know that to be true.
-
I would vote for Senator Barack Obama before I ever voted for Senator Hillary Clinton.
His response?
Videos of Hillary using his "yes, we can" and "fired up and ready to go" without crediting him.
Also, Patrick says "Sen. Obama and I are longtime friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language. The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Sen. Clinton, I applaud him [for] responding in just the way he did.”
Plus, he adlibed it. It wasn't written in his speech. He just thought it and said it. Patrick doesn't care– it's QUOTES from other famous people.
Bottom line: it's not a big deal. Why don't we start worrying about Clinton refusing to release her tax records, unlike Obama. I'm not sure exactly WHY that's not making headlines…
It's pretty sad when Deval Patrick gets quite a response during his version of the same speech, and Barrack barely gets any. Barracks speech should have been titled "someone else's words that I'll never follow through on"…I just want to be president. If anyone disagrees hey, they're just words.
Again, you are just stirring up shit, Perez. From CNN:
" The controversy is lost on the Massachusetts governor, who endorsed Obama.
Obama's campaign had Patrick call the New York Times over the weekend and issue a statement.
"Senator Obama and I are long-time friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language," Patrick said in the statement. "The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Senator Clinton, I applaud him responding in just the way he did."
The Obama campaign also confirmed comments chief strategist David Axelrod — an adviser on Obama's Senate campaign and Patrick's gubernatorial run — made to the New York Times about the speeches.
"They often riff off one another. They share a world view," Axelrod told the Times about Obama and Patrick. "Both of them are effective speakers whose words tend to get requoted and arguments tend to be embraced widely."
… the only political news you report lately is anything negative about Obama or positive about Clinton. You don't even report the news that matters, like the freaking primary results! If you aren't gonna do it right, don't report on the election at all!
"Sen. Obama and I are longtime friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language. The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Sen. Clinton, I applaud him [for] responding in just the way he did." - Deval Patrick.
the ass can't even think for himself!!!!
Perez, you're a rookie when it comes to politics and its showing. Badly. It's your site and you can advocate for Hillary as much as you want but when you start putting up political stuff you're held to a higher standard. Your credibility is your brand. On the gossip stuff, people don't care as much but on the political stuff they do and you're going to loose a lot of readers if you don't check your facts. Just running press releases from any campaign is a problem for your credibility. I'd say this if you were running unfiltered Obama stuff as well. I'm not visiting your site again until after the March 4 primaries.
He's just another Bush. He'll be in over his head in no time flat. He's riding the wave of fame. and you are all falling for it. I've made my decision. I don't want another cowboy/rockstar/preacher in the president's chair.
We learned learned it from ignorant folks like you! Asshole!
Is this really the best that Hillary backers can come up with when trying to find faults with Obama? I'm a Republican who will vote for OBAMA in November if he's the nominee. I will not vote for Hillary. I have many Republican friends who feel the same way… If Democrats want the White House back, they need to go with Obama.
Man, the Clinton campaign is REALLY getting desperate. Just last week she was saying action was more important than words.
But now…words are important, even though she's used some of Obama's lines… yes we will anyone? pathetic..
This is sad, really. A perfect example of why Clinton is losing…
AND REMEMBER EVERYONE…
A VOTE FOR BILLARY IS A VOTE FOR MCCAIN!!!

Re: Texas Teri – Obama already made a statement on this? Paying tribute to a friend? Everyone uses other's speeches? What kind of responses are these? If he was paying tribute to a friend, then he would have said in my friend Deval Patrick's words from his 10/2006 speech, " blah blah blah" He didn't think he would be discovered. And when he was, he had Patrick come out to defend him. His speeches are lifted, his policies are lifted, it's time to bow out of the race gracefully. This guy is NOT original and will not work for our country - he'll get others to do it for him. Wake UP!
There's no way I would vote for him now!
barack is horrible and hilary is no better. barack will not even wear an americnan flag when he is an american and has the cuban flag hanging in his campaign offices. does he know he is running for the presidency of the US? not very american to me or someone i would want to represent america. and he wants to take a percentage of our gross income and give it to poverty nations. why doesn't he go to some other country because i do not see one thing he can or will do for us and our country.
Seriously Perez? What the fuck do you know about politics? Stick to pointless, mind numbing celebrity gossip, that's all that you can handle. Barack didn't plagiarize here, the two politicians were both quoting the three most prominent speeches in US history, I'm just almost every politician has referenced these inspirational messages. You're a fucking idiot, we all know that you're pro-Hillary but spreading slander against Obama on this website is not only ridiculous, but you are way over your head and losing fans like me.
I can understand all of you Obama supporters are pretty upset right now - your guy let you down; he really is not the great inspirer you thought he was. He takes other peoples' ideas and speeches and makes them his own. We'll give you a few days to digest this and you'll feel better. But stop being such sore losers - Clinton and McKain supporters told you a long time ago your bubble would burst. HA HA!! More intelligent discussion on political blogs show his supporter comments are dwindling. He's been discovered! HA HA
please perez stick to gossip and let politics for the one who truly understands it because you'll be leadind disgusting comments like that idiot who said that all black are thieves this is a democracy one clinton is enough we don't want hear another blowjob story in the white house and a democrat who wants a war no thanks

Perez, you're really losing credibility with me.
Barack Obama helped write the first speech and has full permission to use it. Just shows how desperate Hillary and her campaign are becoming.
Google is your friend ~ use it.
Go Hillary!!!Obama never really says anything that is his own he repeats what other candidates say 1st and tries to make it look like he said it 1st…all of you need to do some research on the issues. Like one how could Obama vote against the war if he wasn't even in office back then he has only been in office 3 years the war has been going on longer than that..Something to think about..

CHEATER LIAR, FRAUD, WORTHLESS, NO IDEAS, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR YOU NOW - I WASTED ALL MY TIME AND MONEY ON YOU AND YOU ARE NOT ORIGINAL!
If what you've got going for you are speeches and promises, and your speeches are lifted…it's not looking so good for the promises.
:( That sucks.
god i know you hate obama and everything but really Perez? i'm disappointed. i kept my mouth shut about the che pictures but this is getting ridiculous.
check the facts- hes been completely up front about it and has been doing press interviews on the matter all day!!
your not on Hillary's campaign team- lets not start exagerating like them
No one needs a closet Muslim in the White House! Particularly one who has no defined goals or direction of leadership. Nor do we need a plagiarizer! He has already alienated a large percentage of people in the is country with his idolizing of the murderous pig Che!
you obama followers are so ridiculous for following someone based entirely on charm and charisma. if you ever listened to ONE debate you would know that obama is full of shit. And for you Clinton haters, the US economy was the BEST during Bill's administration so back off Hillary
Re: Sara –
Who's word do we have that Obama helped write the first speach, his good friend, Deval Patrick?
Obama's a fraud, and he's been found out.
Not an original thought in that man's platform, and now the whole word know that there isn't an original word coming out of his mouth, either. Ha, Ha, Ha!
perez, at the very least you should appear to remain impartial.
this makes you look immature and unprofessional, in light of what your site is intended to do. you're not andrew sullivan.
