Reply #117: Uh, Obama admitted he copied the speech. It's not "similarly"

[MADem]

It was WORD FOR WORD. On Good Morning America today, Diane interviewed DP and she said to him that Deval ADMITTED to her that he should have credited DP. DP said "Awww, that's OK..."

But the point isn't the "Just words" as in "all speeches/no action" theme. It isn't. No one's saying that, that isn't the issue.

The point here is COPYING someone else's speech. They aren't criticizing him for being all about speeches--they're criticizing him for SWIPING a speech and passing it off as original material. So don't try to obfuscate the point with that "Just Words" argument about how he's all talk and no action.

Deval is not on the hotseat, here. Deval WON his election--that's why you're being treated to it on a NATIONAL level. Because it was so successful on a local level.

Gee, they're running the "lifted the Governor's speech" story on the news AGAIN right now...!

We aren't talking about Hillary here either--nice try. Hillary is ALWAYS criticized, for not doing enough, for doing too much, for being fat, for her hair, for her voice, you name it. There's no refreshing needed, because she catches shit from you guys continuously.

The subject here is a guy who copied, but who portrayed himself as an "original."

But hell, do anyhing and everything to avoid THAT pesky subject. Heaven forfend you have to acknowledge that your candidate is, if not an empty suit, at the minimum a bit INauthuentic.

Cognitive dissonance can be challenging to confront.
