It's Mostly Public Domain
Most of the words in Patrick's, and Obama's, paragraphs, are public domain. The only words Obama uses in the paragraph in question that are Patrick's are "just words". Two words.
Politicians continuously borrow and build on one another's ideas. Seriously, at this point, we are talking about two monosyllabic words, and Obama has even apologized for the incident.
I will very happily vote for Obama in November, or I will happily vote for Clinton. I am annoyed at the tricks every politician plays, so I don't watch TV.
The right wants the left to murder itself over goofy, insignificant disagreements. Many of us are playing into their hands by putting the amplifying force of the internet to very poor use.
