Goldman-Sachs picks Obama for obvious reasons.

Read “SubPrime Obama” in the Feb. 11 edition of the Nation

That must mean that the majority of us are ‘too far left.’

I would rather it Be empty, than supportive of bush’s bloody quagmire.

Which is what Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric has been, for most of the past 5 years.

And yes, it is plagiarizing even if the original author doesn’t mind you using it. You are supposed to cite the author. He could have said, “Here is something my good friend Patrick Deval says…”, but he didn’t. He simply passed it off as his own. And no, it was not just two words. It was a whole minute of speech. Obama’s response is to attack Clinton for saying “fired up and ready to go!”. That is not a speech, and it’s not even a slogan. It is something ordinary people say all the time. I can’t believe anyone is falling for this guy. Obama’s rhetoric is empty.</p> Does no one see the irony in Obama plagiarizing a speech about how words matter?
