Don't call me honey
because I'm not sweet-talking you, you demeaning troll.
It's clear you have no idea what you are talking about, nor do you have the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader.
Obama and his speechwriters (like any other candidate) work together to create an oratory style, a way of expressing the candidate's ideas, personality and vision. That is what I refer to as "the Obama brand." That is *not* a crime, nor is it dishonest. I do not expect any candidate, including Obama, to write 100% of his speeches himself.
There is a wide, bright line, straddling a deep lava-filled abyss, between "the Obama Brand" (or the HRC brand or the McCain brand, etc ad nauseum) and a candidate lifting whole paragaphs from another source and passing them off as his own ideas. *That* is plagiarism. *That* is dishonest. *That* is fraud. *Even if* the original source (n this case, the Patrick Brand) is cool with it.
