So now it turns out that Obama uses words from other people's speeches. Some kool-aid drinking Karl Rove robots might say that he's explicitly citing someone else because he admires them or their ideas. Or they might say that Bill Clinton did it too in the 1992 campaign. But those reasons sound flimsy to me, as they do to some of the other letter-writers here.
They sound flimsy because just seeing Barack Obama's face makes me think that he must be committing a crime. I mean committing it right there, in front of me, even though he's standing mostly still, with his hands where I can see him, and just talking to people.
The only possible conclusion is that he is stealing the words he's uttering. Either that or that he stole the suit he's wearing, or maybe the podium. Either way, that's something that everyone should want to see investigated so we can be sure.
Why would Obama supporters not want to find out if their candidate was a shoplifter in addition to being a plagiarist? And why do his hands keep disappearing and reappearing? He might even be dealing crack underneath that podium.
The only reason not to want to probe these serious allegations is that Obama supporters don't care if their candidate is a criminal. They are probably plagiarizing, shoplifting, crack-dealing criminals too, or if they're white it means they've "drunk the kool-aid," which means that they literally cannot see the inherent criminality of a man like Obama. And by "like Obama" I mean something that I will only vaguely articulate but certainly does not apply to Hillary or McCain.
