The Clinton campaign hit Barack Obama where it hurts Monday, accusing him of plagiarizing a portion of a weekend speech.
Considering his gifted use of words and inspirational addresses, the accusation has been characterized as both a smart political move aimed squarely at one of Obama's greatest strengths, and as a desperate act of Clinton's faltering campaign.
In a speech Saturday in Milwaukee, Obama used phrasing that's nearly identical to an address given in 2006 by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. Patrick was responding to charges from opponents that he was all talk. Obama's speech made the same point about his own candidacy

Sad but true.......he's ran out of his own b.s. so he's got to borrow somebody elses.
Nice to see the Dems making an issue out of it though.....split the party just a bit more. :thumbsup:
