Oops! Obama did it again!
Just now on Ed Schultz: "I never say it's over till it's over."

(Lifted from Yogi Berra.)

6. funny stuff on this:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/2/18/112341/555/694/458992

I sat and watched his speech the other night, and I thought, "You know, some of these phrases sound familiar!"

It turns out that FDR wrote "there is nothing to fear but fear itself." And apparently, and so brazenly, Obama has stolen words from our FOUNDING DOCUMENTS! He ripped off "all men are created equal" from the Declaration of Independence!

I mean, my god. The nerve of that guy.

We all know that Hillary Clinton would never steal words without attribution.

UPDATE!!!!: Obama used the words AND, THE, OR, and IS... which were previously written HERE!!!

UPDATE 2!!!!!!!!: OHMYGOD! Obama has been caught again in an IRONIC TWIST OF SELF-HATRED and law breaking! ON HIS WEBSITE barackobama.com HE QUOTES HIMSELF WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION! RIGHT AT THE TOP!!!

8. You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.

22. "When you come to the fork in the road, take it" - Yogi
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 01:06 PM by Seabiscuit
That's how Yogi gave directions to his house, and they were accurate directions. Whether one turned left or right at the fork in the road, it would lead to Yogi's house because it was located on a circular street connecting the two forks.

Man against - I forget the other one

16. "Nobody goes to Obama's events any more... they're too crowded"

Adapted from a famous Yogi Berra-ism:

"Nobody goes to any more... it's too crowded."

18. It's worse than you think...
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 12:59 PM by Jeff In Milwaukee
Did you know his FATHER was named Barak Obama, too? I mean, what is that? Some kind of coincidence? I don't think so -- he clearly plagiarized his LAST NAME FROM HIS OWN FATHER!

That's just plan descipable!

And just in case it's necessary...

:sarcasm:
