Barack Obama: "Words don't matter", response

[C2CONTINUES]

Obama = Lying Turd

[ToBeFree777]

Well he has lied about every campaign promise I ever heard him make?

Looks to me like he is against our country! Prolly cause he's not a real American, or we don't know do we? BECAUSE HE WONT PRODUCE A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND HAS SPENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO KEEP IT FROM BEING EXPOSED!

[mulhollanddose]

Lying sack of shit...The only reason Obama was elected was because the media refused to properly vet him.

[ReRemixedLive]

fuck obama

[mulhollanddose]

"The most transparent administration ever!!!"....Just words.

[LordRigon]

In response to "dill315" comment: You don't have to cut and twist, as you say, to present Obama's words in a "negative light". Just look at what the man has done to the country already. Obama is right about one thing, words are "just words" for the Obama administration, but his actions are speaking very loudly indeed.

[dill315]

thank god obamas gonna win. great speech. dont u love how false, i mean fox news twists everything around, only showing certain parts to show it in a negative light.

[blackownamerica2008]

Barack my brother lets take over this election and this country which slaved us for over 365 years.

Its our turn to over throw these white people and our chance to do what they did to us.

Yes we can

Obama 2008

[jeffeyss]

My suggestion for the next time he gives this speech: "God damn America"... just words "Typical white person"... just words "Proud of this country for the first time"...just words "Bitter Americans clinging to religion"... just words "Hold on, sweetie"... just words

Hussein Obama is so anti-American. Don't vote for him.

[imaking300]

but hes american dont americans have the right to choose whatever religion they want...you give a reason thats really stupid...you probly wouldnt be saying that if he was catholic or christian...to midgetdrunkman

[siswonri]

no matter if he is muslim/ not..people of indonesia endorse OBAMA

[Pivot82]

OBAMA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! Hillary is just trying to make fun of obama

[maxBLINOW]

i want me to be president lolollolol :O

[ciriasandoval]

For crying out loud people, you are liking this guy only cause he's black. Honestly, what has he said that makes it seem he's fit to take our country out of this recession? Nothing! Look at the facts. If Hillary doesn't win I'm definitely for McCain!!!

[SilkySmoove44]

Lisa Futterman - are you stupid or do you just sound that way?

[LisaFutterman1]

Obama is the Antichrist.

[WadeBlazingame34]

LisaFutterman1: I'm surprised by your willingness to say such a silly thing when you list your real name, have a picture of yourself, and post your linkedin profile on your youtube page listing your catering company in the Chicago area and your background as a UPenn graduate and all that... Wow. One would think you'd have some respect for your reputation. Guess not.

[LisaFutterman1]

And you're hiding behind a screen name, so what are you trying to hide?

[ZiggityRoller]

Lisa Futterman, very ugly overweight chef in her mid 40's Chicago area possibly shemale? Republican, religious, conflicted, bullshit artist, anti-science, anti-common sense, works at some swill hole called the Slopping Block her phone is 773 472 6700

[LisaFutterman1]

Obama is the Antichrist.

[KEVINSCOOT713]

No more white lightning for you - dry out girl friend

[LisaFutterman1]

Obama is the Antichrist.

[Adenmussa]

You are the Antichrist.

[ytweb83]

Hillary is a black-hearted, disingenous lesbian. Vote for Obama. He's half white.

[lacajosss]

GO HILLARY!!!

Obama: plagiarism.. you suck..

same sh!t, different color.. i mean toilet..

[darkelow]

"Cheating"... lol I love it.

He used three lines of a speech by a friend, to help take fuel his point.

By the way, you still never addressed my point: many speakers use famous words, without the proper citation, does that make them "plagirisers"

And since you brought up "cheating" you should keep tabs on your candidates before you spout bullshit. Especially when the speaker of the house (Nancy Pelosi) is calling you out for it, then we have a problem.

[fjstratford]

Obama is so stupid. Now he is defending plagiarism?

Why would anybody vote for someone who deceives his audience, steals someone's hard work and defends the fact that he did so?

Even my 5 year old nephew knows that he cant pass off his friend's homework as his own.

Its really a very simple thing. even a child knows that it is wrong.

[Celestialnight18]

he wasn't stealing their work. he was saying if words don't matter then why do their words matter. jeeze listen to the end of the speech again, and don't judge.

[fjstratford]

He stole DeVal Patrick's speech.

[darkelow]

You're retarded.

He didn't steal anything, he just use a similar phrase. Even if he took his words, do you know how many famous orators repeat phrases?

Do us all a favor, and don't vote.

[fjstratford]

Okay so he *plagiarized* the speech.

He did not repeat a phrase. He plagiarized a speech.

Get it? Plagiarism. He reads well, I guess. As long as he doesnt have to come up with the idea itself.

Obama is only good as a voice over announcer

[darkelow]

No he didn't "Plagiarize" anything.

The only phrase that was REMOTELY similar to DeVal's speech was "I have a dream...just words? All men are created equal...were those just words? We have nothing to fear, but fear itself, were those just words?"

Everything else was from him. And as I've said, how many times have you've heard a great speaker talk? To get that connection with the audience, many times they will repeat famous words.

Stop being like Hillary and blowing shit out of proportion.

[fjstratford]

He plagiarized the hearth of his speech. How could you call that "only"?

If I copy the Grimm Brother's fairy tale and change the last words to "THe End" instead of "And they lived happily ever after"

IT IS STILL PLAGIARISM.

IT IS STILL CHEATING.

IT IS STILL THIEVERY.

IT IS STILL DECEPTION.

OBAMA SUCKS

[darkelow]

What the hell kind of argument is that? Not only that, how is it plagiarism if his friend let him see it in the first place?

This argument is so retarded, I'm not even going to try to debate with some YouTube mindless Clinton martyr. This is the exact reason why you're not going to get undecided voters such as myself to vote for her.

It's just the same old political smear bullshit. Except hers is out of desperation, which is even worse because she's trying to nitpick.

[Celestialnight18]

Thank you, I finally heard the whole story and he was allowed to use the words. It's not stealing it, if someone lets you use the words. Especially someone on the same side.

[darkelow]

You're retarded.

He didn't steal anything, he just use a similar phrase. Even if he took his words, do you know how many famous orators repeat phrases?

Do us all a favor, and don't vote.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

i think you need to relax and look at the big picture. This man is campaigning hard and smart. How do you think Deval Patrick gets his speeches...someone writes them for him/plus D.P is his campaign co-chairperson, he can give Obama some direction. Everyone thinks that Obama is a God of sorts...He is human just like the rest of us.

Vote Obama 08

[HungryVermilingua]

Hillary sounds like my 9 year old daughter arguing with my 11 year old son when he is willing to play a game with her.

""" I know its a word game, but "your" words don't count"""

""" I know I agreed that Florida's votes will not count, but I won there, so I now want them counted."""

""" If your going to beat me, I wanna use the super delegates to beat you"

""" I WANNA WIN!!! I NEED TO WIN!! IT'S MY TURN!! I DESERVE IT!! YOU PROMISED!! IT'S NOT FAIR !! JUST LET ME WIN!!

[darknesswd]

Hussein's wife:

Michelle Obama's senior sociology thesis has come to light — the one where she let loose on the "ineradicable racism of white Americans" and called the U.S.A. "a nation founded in crime and hatred."

She even doesn't know the country is founded on freedom and "all men are created equal". She hates this country, but wants to be a First Lady.

Is that insane?

[Celestialnight18]

UMm who cares what she thought in the past, it's what she thinks now.

[darknesswd]

Hossein Obama is born to be a Muslim.

There are many Muslim here in US, like those who hijacked the airplanes in 911. They looked normal like many other, and they actually grew up here since they were born. They have all the benefit from the country as us, but they finally chose to fight against this country, and killed many victims who have friends, family, parents and children. Had these killers ever thought of that? They were told to be cold-blooded and killing.

No Hussein in office!!

[Celestialnight18]

islam and the terrorists are two different things. just like bush is religious. all religions had radicals. don't hate them all for one person.

[Adenmussa]

Muslims are not monsters. You need to grow up just a little bit.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

yes, but Hillary Clinton seems to think that what sounds lie having a Muslim last name is a threat to this country. She is a racist who hates Muslim.

[faraz06]

i believe him too.

[shtygolfr863]

Just words... if anyone has not seen the movie "The Distinguished Gentleman" with Eddie Murphy needs to see it. Quite a contrast in saying words without having any substance behind them. I'm trying to get a video of them one after another... make take some time.

No I'm not saying Obama is a swindler like murphy's character in that movie... just empty words.

[reeljerc]

I believe him

[untrapaneur]

THe first 45 seconds he shounds like bill cosby and definately makes a fool of himself. HEs the one playing the game, and weither he is from the south side of chicsgo or not he still isnt persidential quality.

[juekityler]

All of this politics is like pro wrestling: you have a lot of guys belching a lot of hype; however, in pro wrestling, there is a ton of choreography that goes into each fight and, in politics, regardless the absurdity of campaign drivel, when the election is over, both 'sides' (as if there were good guys and bad guys) need to sit down and work with each other. Politics is not the problem. The problem is the average American's understanding of politics.

[AlbertBenjaminHoward]

what a joke obama is!

no style or substance

[WadeBlazingame34]

DEMOCRATS UNITE! BARACK OBAMA 2008!!

Signed, Sealed, Delivered. Hillary drop out now! Her fundraising efforts to fight this losing battle now, is taking money away from Obama's November campaign. He'll need that money to beat McCain and bring the Presidency back to the Democrats.

DEMOCRATS UNITE! BARACK OBAMA 2008!!

[runningchance]

Hillary and her gang say the words of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Abraham Lincoln are just mere words that mean nothing....I guess she isn't big on the "We the people" declaration either. If Hillary and the super delegates rip off Obama, I will vote for McCain and the republican cronies across the board in November.

[ChiGuy1978]

Talk isn't cheap, but Obama cheapens talk when he plagiarizes speeches...

view: v=8M6x1H08aFc

And he's not a game player??

When Hillary and Barack reprise each other's slogans, the crowd knows they're doing it and it's a common rhetorical tactic. Lifting lines from an obscure speech from a different election without attribution defrauds the audience.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

Hillary is doing whatever it takes to win the nod, so is Obama....Let the best MAN....win

[ChiGuy1978]

Democrats deserve better than this. Obama's right, empty promises don't put food on the table. Clinton has fought hard for change and delivered it even when it wasn't popular or getting her headlines. We need a president who will work hard for us when the going gets tough, not just give a speech and head to Camp David for a round of golf - like Bush does. Obama looks to me like a catch-phrase candidate. I'd rather have one with a track record of delivering change.

[transwired]

OK - I admit, I hate RON PAUL Supporters! - I hate his campaign and and all those donations, but I love the man - he was our only hope, now he is gone, we cannot elect him anymore... Good luck my fellow Americans, good luck to us...

[lodiedodiee]

and how do you steal something if your given permission to use it after obama's speach the other guy who the speech was borrowed from stood up and shook obamas hand the man was in the building

[ascgrp]

God Bless America. Lol

[AnnaFire]

Obama must have been assuming people are educated ENOUGH to know those words were spoken by Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. All people who inspired and lead America. Apparently the media and the Clinton camp are ignorant and have not looked far enough back - instead attributing the words to Deval Patrick because he also used them in a speech? We NEED someone like Obama when apparently all of America has become so ignorant . . .

[jimisback]

He probably new Deval stole those words too. So they are just repeated words, JFK also.

[garylandy]

wow, how he uses his voice and stuff!

i am sure obama studied the speech technics of geobbles. who would believe a black guy being a nazi, nobody?

[garylandy]

[garylandy]

[JustincJohnsson]

All I have to say is, desperation, You all are so pathetic, the whole Hillary camp is desperate. Do you know who words really belong to, read John 1:1-3.

[danielngar]

The Clintons should be ashamed in trying to bank on this puppy... Look at what Deval Patrick himself has to say; (02/17): "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."

[awaveman]

Exactly! It's obvious that Clinton is getting nervous.

[danielngar]

If this is the worst dirt these people can find on Obama, it is a complement to him. Obama's come back was a great one and I do not hear Deval complaining. He most likely feels flattered. The remark itself is made up of quotes of other great orators! HRC and her followers are too eager to find fault with Obama as they watch her fighting for her Political life. Try being positive, try to give better speeches instead of attacking Obama. It is not working and it did not work when Bill tried it.

[dai1997]

He is so fake! Doesn't matter if you copy it from your friend or a stranger, it is not his word. The ironic part is that this is his response to "words don't matter"! As a democrat I really hope we can have a candidate better that that to take on McCain.

[littleguynetworking]

You idiot. Do you know anything? Hillary has someone write her fuckin speeches. I hate fucking sheep. Read a book.

[jipoku]

Plagirism: the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. Obama had permission to use Duval Patrick's words. Plagirism is when you don't have permission. McCain stole "fired up and ready to go" from Obama. Clinton stole "Yes we can" and "change" from Obama. Why are people paying attention to this? Where is the outrage towards them?

[choklitchoklit]

Gov. Deval Patrick (02/17): "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."

[foreverus008]

What hell is it? He copied the words from others, shamed!

[cakedoodle]

Obama's words just got even cheaper now that we know they're stolen.

If you ask voters to judge you on the basis of promises and you break them, or on the basis of rhetoric and you lift it, there's not much else there!

[kprado42]

he got advised by a friend, while hilary steals quotes from him...

[beerbelly71]

Hillary Clinton's new campaign slogan: "No I Can't."

[STJ1000]

You really have to have nerve to respond to a charge that you are all rhetoric with more rhetoric.

You have to be semi retarded to do it with someone elses rhetoric

[robertlowryjr]

Hater. Actually some of you drama queens should acknowledge the fact that Obama wrote two books so if he is a plagerist he would be sued by now. The man who he borrowed the "just words" idea from is a very good friend of his, and he GAVE him permission to use it. This was known months ago.

Just more partison hacks and divisiveness from the GOP and Hillary backers. Oh so desperate.

[Jeskimely]

go Obama you freaking rock

[WadeBlazingame34]

Hillary's slogan: "I have 35 years of experience learning from my many mistakes."

BTW - All that supposed experience, and her campaign is bankrupt, imploding, and full of in-fighting. Great work!

[caucusjunkietwo3]

im sorry but what does BTW mean I am internet jargon illiterate.

Hillary Clinton is upset because she couldnt think to use the same words she condemns. 35 years of experience and 2 healthcare plans that have gone for naught. WTF is she thinking. As a matter of fact she uses Obama's "yes we can " slogans all of the time. Very original work I must say

[WadeBlazingame34]

Hey Caucusjunkie: BTW = By the way...

[caucusjunkietwo3]

Thanks , a lot

[caucusjunkietwo3]

thanks

[Americanguy7]

Go Obama!!!! Obama 08!!!

You desperate Hillary supporters are miserable! But I cant blame you, I guess when your desperate your desperate and when your up against the best I guess you have to try to coalesce petty charges in the hope that people will stop thinking about I dont know, THE WAR, THE ECONOMY, HEALTHCARE!!

VOTE FOR OBAMA TO END THIS TYPE OF WORTHLESS UNEDIFYING BATTLE OVER NOTHING.

WHAT WAS SOMETHING WAS HILLARYS VOTE FOR THE WAR. THAT WASN'T ABOUT WORDS, IT WAS ABOUT LIVES!

[fjstratford]

At work, we hate people who take credti for something that they have not done or thought of... that is Obama.

What a fri ck ing moron

YOU SUCK BARACK!

(NOw that rhymes, dont go about Obamaizing it... :-)

[jipoku]

Plagirism: the UNAUTHORIZED use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. Obama had permission to use Duval Patrick's words, so it is not plagirism.

[littleguynetworking]

HAHAHAHAH...Your a fucking fruitcake. Getting desperate huh? Rollover and die. That ugly bitch aint runnin shit.

[81tokits81]

Obama: style over substance.

Demagogue.

[karasek33]

The joke is on the people criticizing Obama for this "plagiarism"! Sure seems like a lot of good press to me! I'll listen to that speech all day long; I hope the news stations keep playing it. The message is what is important! The Clinton Camp should stick to the issues, because "this dog won't hunt!" Oops...

[ishara7]

kara: I know! When they lie to people, they need to have a plan-the body of Obama's 40min+ speech is on the Time website & anyone with internet access can read it-no mention of the Clinton rebuttal!

Why? Because having completed his speech he had a rif that Deval suggested Obama use, that they both crafted-read the NY Times article & confirm.

This is the internet age where lies, misrepresentation & distortion can be confirmed within seconds-do yourself a favour & avoid them altogether.

[sourcespin]

Obama drones can say what they want. All he had to say was to quote my good friend and Governor Patrick... But. He DIDN'T because he wanted people to think it was HIS speech. Guys a fake and the democratic party are tearing themselves apart over nothing while the republicans sit back and laugh.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

be honest cant you see through Hillary'd polarizing spirit re: SC. Obama want to unite but she cant help herself for wanting to divide. what a fuckin bitch...She was not smart enough to use the words herself. So many people write for her that she forgets to read

[docak098]

ms clinton cheep words is yours to vote to war cheep words are to vote to give G.Bush to go war with iran that kind words are right

[fjstratford]

Passing off someone's words as yours is CHEATING! LOL

Its not even his words! LOL What a stup1d guy is he if he thinks he can just cheat his way and get away with it.

What a moron. Enough of this empty suit!

Obama = CHEATER = PLAGIARIZER

I hope he does not Obama anybody else and claim things as his own, because that would be too funny.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

give me a fuckin break. Hillary clinton was not smart enough to use the borrowed words her goddamn self. That bum bitch had to look long and hard for that one. How smart. She cant find it in her heart to concede to defeat. Never thought that a black man could keep her coming. She thought that she was so popular and that her own shit doesnt stink. She is a typical politician who only thinks of herself. She doesnt care about america. Fuck that Ho.

[fjstratford]

If Obama is banking on his ability to convince people, well... If so, we'd better elect Deval Patrick instead of Obama - why get the puppet when you can get the real thing?

I dont know where you are from but in the USA we have copyright laws and academic standards - and in the USA plagiarism is a CRIME!!!

Plagiarism is CHEATING - passing off other people's words as your own. You benefit from someone's work because you fool people into thinking that you are worth more than you are.

RIDICULOUS!

[Pathbend]

Really? You can string words together into sentences, so I assume you can think. There is only a million sources, articles etc. that makes your opinion Ridiculous. Think for yourself for a change. Ironically enough, it is your kind of blind and idiotic "reasoning" that got Bush elected. Obama is what he says he is, or he is the biggest and best liar in the history of Mankind. Me, I am a free mind, so I tend to give a man who devotes his life to something greater the benefit of the doubt...

[eyewrenchee]

Tell me, how can someone own Hope?

How can someone own Inspiration?

How can someone OWN WORDS?

There really is NOTHING new under the Sun... words not mine.

[fjstratford]

Your attitude is sooo typical of Obama's closed minded and blind supporters. Disgusting how stupid your comments are - you justify Obama's bad deeds by putting down Clinton. Ohh.. He is dirty but ohh she is dirtier.

Obama's smear campaign sucks!

[dippyhude]

obamba's smear campaign? how is talking about hope a smear campaign? I thought you had to put other people down for it to be a smear campaign. Not sure, but I don't believe wadeblazingame34 is obamba.

[WadeBlazingame34]

dippyhude: Thanks for setting the record straight; I am not Barack Obama. But, also for the record... WadeBlazingame34 did not smear anyone or put anyone down. I point out relevant facts about Hillary's doomed campaign. Thanks.

[eyewrenchee]

I see its all over for your guy McCain is he now going to say "I did not have sexual relations with that women," who actually looks a bit like my wife.

[ishara7]

Ten for Obama and Nil for Clinton, time for the Clinton campaign to pursue other negative avenues....this one's done!
