Just Words
To put a Clintonian spin on it -- maybe it depends on what "just words" means. Does it mean "just words" as in "they're only words" -- or does it mean "just words" as in "virtuous words?" Kind of like saying "just desserts" -- "What's on the menu? Just desserts. What will Clinton get after today? Just desserts." ;)
Sure, Obama should have credited his friend with the words, if only to deprive the Clintons of this monumental campaign issue (koff). But seriously, HR Clinton has been ripping off everybody else the whole campaign -- you'd see it a week after either Edwards or Obama had scored rhetorical points with some speeches. Then suddenly Clinton would be throwing those words out, too, but only after Edwards or Obama had demonstrated their utility on the stump -- ever cautious, that one is.
