[crumcon]

[TheDrpretorious]

HA!

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

A religious nut to who smokes pot everyday? Oh great, just what we need. Another asshole to make pot look bad. Fuckin' awesome. :-/

Wasn't that the same guy who thought Puerto Rico was a country?

vis a vis political speeches

who cares if they are copying each other. its all bullshit anyway. I feel more sorry/angry for the people who actually buy into this stuff as some kind of authentic experience.

And although I think Obama is a far better president then alot of dipshit Palinheads, I would be surprised if Obama's political rhetoric wasn't copied from others in history.

Although at least when he does his 'wowsa' dance he puts it in his own words.

[Runesocesius]

@festyosemtex I agree. They all copy from each other. The reason i'm baffled by this isn't so much about honesty/dishonesty but idiocy. I mean how dumb do you have to be to copy word for word a recent speech.

[GarytehFairy]

I am sure not 1 commenter remembers the similarities between Bush's state of the union and Obama's, Do ya.....who had the state of the union first?

Matthew's is clueless bottom line, he is from Pennsylvania, nuff said.

[beeshor1]

@GarytehFairy I'm sure YOU can't remember where Obama recited a Bush speech verbatim. Because it NEVER HAPPENED!!

[GarytehFairy]

@beeshor1 You put words in my text.....SIMILARITIES....Janua­ry 21st 2009...Jon Stewart does a side by side of Bush and Obama, very SIMILAR, google it. Tried to find the video clip for you on the daily shows web site, I put about 5 minutes work in it for you. Then I gave up. It was the Inaugural, not state of the union, so sorry sonny. I do remember it was so like Bush, my stomach sank.

Oh yea, Don't deny the truth, just cuz it hurts.

[beeshor1]

@GarytehFairy It hurts? HaHaHaHa! What you're comparing this to is completely different. Just about every politician uses similar messages. That's what Obama did in the clip you sent. He never used the EXACT SAME WORDS FROM ONE SPEECH! You people who dislike Obama are fanatical.

[GarytehFairy]

@beeshor1 sent chah THE LINK BRO!!!!!

NO NEED TO RAISE YOUR VOICE, WHEN IT HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#LOL

[Starry2000]

@GarytehFairy I remember that there were similarities between Obamas and Bushs speeches. However it was not a complete word for word rip off like this was. This was so much worse.

[Calimantalkin]

this will get blamed on the left somehow, lol

[aMulliganStew]

@Calimantalkin like "speech writer was an obama operative."

[jimbrown257]

@Calimantalkin

Of course this is Obama's fault! Remember, it takes two to plagarize; if Obama had never made that initial speech there wouldn't be this problem. This is a clear case of illegal entrapment.

This might actually be worse than when Obama went back in time to prevent the Bush administration from properly handling the situation in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.

They can't let Obama get away with this!!

[toxickatie]

@Calimantalkin

Or "The commies in Obama's secret army controlled his brain!"

[jeremywomackdotcom]

hahaha, this is TOO funny. Either the DUDE stole the speech, or his writers did, and didn't tell him. Looking like a fool with your pants on the ground. HAHAHAHA

[Starry2000]

@jeremywomackdotcom

Of course he has speech writers, they all do. That part of this story is being completely ignored.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this guy did something to piss off his speechwriter. This feels like a vindictive thing.

[antihostile]

That speechwriter is fired!

[KataVideo]

@antihostile yep... assuming it was not the candidate himself who blocked out Obama's text, copied it and pasted it into his own speech

[jeremywomackdotcom]

@antihostile yup, you're probably right

[snipzor]

Cue republicans defending the guy by bitching about the blogger who noticed this, by calling him an Obamanite, in the cult of Obama. While adding a few derps in there. I'm calling it.
