Clinton Charges Obama with Plagiarism
In what can only be described as yet another act of desperation, the Clinton campaign accuses Barack Obama of plagiarism, specifically, a 2006 speech of Mass. Governor Deval Patrick. There is no denying that the words uttered by Obama and Patrick are identical; however, the two men are friends who share ideas about politics and public policy, so it is not surprising that they would borrow from one another. And borrowing is exactly what is, similar to Hillary Clinton's use, without attribution, of "it's time to turn the page" and "fired up and ready to go," phrases used earlier and with great effectiveness by Obama.

That whole argument is just silly!
and "...change you can believe in not change you can [Xerox]"
Not to be trifling BUT, someone needs to tell Senator Clinton that "Xerox" is a registered trademark and that her misuse or misappropriation of the trademark as a generic term is perhaps a greater sin than her "silly" concern over the source of Senator Obama's comments.
