Pres Obama: Obama plagiarizing George W Bush speech for State of the Union?

not defending but didnt his speechwriters do the plagerizing

I say they all did it.

Oh yeah, they all do it - Dems and Repubs. Several more examples in this article:

This one is even funnier (Rand Paul):

And another one (Eric Cantor):

You can find lots more examples online - just search "plagiarized speech." Nothing new under the sun. You would think with the internet the speech writers and politicians would realize that people figure this stuff out.

this one makes absolutely no sense, if your talking about a movie plot and using it as an example... how are you plagiarizing? it's like saying using a metaphor is plagiarizing because the examples you use already exists...

I guess all this just goes to show that no matter the politician, they are all cut from the same cloth, the same bunch of corrupt individuals doing the same thing, apparently reading from the same playbooks.

the D vr R thing is just another divide and conquer tactic to keep the "little people" too busy bickering with each other to realize that both parties do the exact same thing: spend more and expand government... which is exactly the oppsite of the ideals this country was founded on.

When you're plagiarizing a movie plot and passing it off as an example that you created yourself, that is plagiarism.

I agree if he had said, "this is similar to the plot of the movie Gattaca" and then went on to discuss the points that he saw from the movie being similar to his future view, it wouldn't be plagiarism. But the way that he did it was just - weird, and inflammatory. The almost word for word stuff is bizarre. There's no need for that unless you're just as dumb as a sack of hammers.

There are lots more examples to be found, I just grabbed some of the first ones that popped up.

and now we know....

Oh yeah, I think that's the first thing that's checked when someone signs up for a political science degree. 😉

I watch Magen Kelly because she's hot, not so much for her politics. But she reminds me too much od Sean Hannity, straight republican talking points all the way and nothing in between. Greta and Bill O are about the only two on Fox that are a bit more middle of the road.

I dunno about him... a little too ego centric and wayy too good at NLP and marginalizing what ever he doesn't like.

BILL LIKES TO LET BOTH SIDES GIVE AN OPINION, not a lot of other people at other stations do that. thats what i like about him and also if someone complains about him, he does not hide from it. he puts it right up there with the compliments

Bill O'Reilly You Can't Explain That

On the January 4th, 2011 episode of The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly interviewed American Atheists president Dave Silverman about a billboard the company had put up arguing that religion was a scam. When Silverman asked for proof of a god’s existence, O’Reilly argued that he knew because the tide comes in and out regularly without fail, and it could not be explained without divine intervention. Silverman’s facial expression after this statement was the inspiration for the Are You Serious? rage face.

noone, no one is perfect
