Obama comes back at Clinton's jibe that his campaign is based on "just words"... And his definition of hope really is one that could be used against McCain's false charge that hope is "a platitude".

Hey, on a lighter side, check out this wonderful Obama site: http://obamawill.com
are you for Clinton or Obama or...? (I think I know :)
I'm running a poll of American liberal bloggers on my European blog. thank you in advance for visiting and voting. ciao! :)
LOL! That speech was pretty good when Deval Patrick gave it two years ago (here's a shorter side-by-side video of Obama and Patrick giving the same speech).
So in actuality, it wasn't Obama's inspiring response, it was a recycled speech from another politician. If anything, his trying to pass off this speech as his own work (or the work of his campaign's) indicates more than anything that he in fact all about "just words".
Of course, Obama could recite Dr Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" and his cult of personality would be inspired by it (or feel faint).
Jason, I've given my response to this latest Clinton claim here. Also, there is nothing in either of the clips where Obama's definition of hope is replicated. The "longer" clip simply goes dead after quoting the same "I have a dream" sections etc.

That specific bit of plagiarism was of the "just words" portion of the speech.

Leaving aside the fact that when colleagues collude it is not plagiarism, I note that you no longer claim that he had lifted his definition of hope from someone else as you did in another thread. That's a start...
