Clinton desperate plagarism charge has backfired magnificently!

So somebody on the Hillary campaign found a similarity between an Obama speech about words being important, and a speech his friend Deval Patrick made on the same issue.

So the campaign, which is looking more and more desperate, decided that this constituted an act of plagiarism.

Unfortunately for the Clinton campaign the words that Obama used were taken from a speech given by one of his best friends and ardent supporters, Deval Patrick who had this to say about the issue: Nobody's great policies by the way end up on the sides of monuments or buildings in Washington. It is those words, ability to inspire. I think that is a tremendous power of Barack Obama. I'm neither surprised nor troubled that he used the words that I asked him to use of my own.

So Obama used words written by his very good friend, who then encouraged him to use them when he found himself attacked for using rhetoric. That fails the test to be called plagiarism in my book. So the charge is completely unfounded and seems spiteful and mean spirited.

And if that is not bad enough we then find that Hillary has not only also been guilty of plagiarism, but that she has actually borrowed from the very person she is attacking for borrowing, Barrack Obama himself.

This simply makes the Clinton campaign seem pathetic.

I predict that this little stunt will cost them even more support in upcoming primaries and caucuses.
