Here's an Obama slogan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe751kMBwms&feature=related

And this is how Hillary counteracts with a slogan of her own

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhCikLeXb7c

Is it just me or is anyone else dectecting a lack of originality in what's left of the Primary Elections?

I have not been listening to the speeches or following what is actually being said enough.

Has anyone else noticed it is easier to get commentary over what is said, than actual coverage
of the speeches?

I heard on the news that many speeches use a lot of material that is "borrowed" or rewritten.

I am watching Hillary and Obama speak spanish in Texas right now, they are going to promise
Hispanics everything including free trips back and forth to Mexico.

        I'm having trouble believing Hillary's camp thought that accusation was a good idea. I read over on HuffPost that Hillary has been running lines from Jimmy Carter speeches back in '76. That is a lot closer to plagiarism than something that comes out of friendship and collaboration.

       Speechwriting is an ongoing process. TV cameras in the cable/satellite era have changed the game. There is still a standard stump speech, but it must be constantly changing and reactive. At this level, there are writers (and at least some of the better ones have gone back to work), meetings, conference calls and late night brainstorming.

      As for Hillary speaking Spanish, if the English language stations went away, she'd promise a bridge over the border fence.

Neither Obama nor Billary have ever had an original thought in their lives. Obama's ra-ra socialism and Clintonista Communism are bankrupt philosophies that history has already consigned to the junk heap. (hint to the Democrats....it's the "Former" soviet union for a reason)

At least Lenin had the good sense to give proper attribution to Karl Marx.

Well, two good changes will happen if Obama gets the Democratic nod. One is Hillary will disappear (at least for four years), and two is McCain will be the next President.

In tonights debate, I think Hillary will go be going down like a ZTA.

McCain as president a good thing? What makes him a lessor evil than Obama? I'm surprised that McCain has made it this far. I still can't find a republican, senior citizen, or even a Military/War Vet who likes him.

As for Obama, can he really dish out what he is promising? More federal scholarships.Everyone over 65 who make less that $50,000 a year will not have to pay income tax. I hope he has a think wallet, Obama might have to pull some cash out of his own pocket to make these plans work.

I need to save this one.

The dipshit in chief you people put in charge will soon make us the "former" United States of America.

Hope you save your recipes for crow.

p.s. Sorry, I forgot, you people all blame Carter.
