Times Obama Himself And His Wife Plagiarized by Caseless: 11:05am On Sep 19, 2016 |
In 2008, then-candidate Obama was found to have plagiarized the speeches of former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on a number of occasions. “I am not asking anyone to take a chance on me, I’m asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations,” Patrick said in a speech delivered in June of 2006. Obama repeated the line verbatim in a speech in South Carolina in November of 2007. In addition, Obama’s famous refrain of “just words” in a 2008 speech was lifted directly from a speech Governor Patrick delivered in October of 2006.
And Mitchell Obama got her own
This thread is not to support plagiarism, but we should learn to apply caution when accusing people of it. In fact , if Obama is guilty of plagiarism he won't be spared. He or his campaign team practically waved the allegations by replying, I was inspired by them , or his campaign team coming to blame the whole thing on "poor footing". This is why it didn't go down well with me that the presidency had to come out to apologize. They could have gotten a technical line of defence just as those on the other side did. If a speech is evergreen and captures situation at hand , it's right to use it but credit should be given to the original writer. |

Mynd44 , lalasticlala , etc, if you guys have not done anything to shut those accusing buhari of plagiarism on Obama's speech and have been abusing the president, then this thread should be moved to the right place . |

monkautos:what's plagiarism in your own definition? If buhari is seen as a plagiarist today because Obama was seen in his speech , then what is Obama? You people are the ones making a mountain out of a molehill. 1 Like |

tobechi74:why are you people making it to seem as if it has never been done before . If it's a crime to read someone's line in your speech, who has ever been convicted for such crime? |

It is not an offence to use another man's word if it accurately expresses your thought. What makes it an offence is to do so without acknowledging him. The President goofed and has since apologized. There is no excuse for such gaffe. |

Paperwhite:one of the "wealed" internet infestations who's yet to get over the defeat your IB suffered in the hands of buhari. |

bejeiodus:sometimes, there is something called ad lib . If it's done ad libitum , especially when you know everyone is on the same page with you, you move on - even without acknowledgement . |
Re: Times Obama Himself And His Wife Plagiarized by Nobody: 12:33pm On Sep 19, 2016 |
Caseless:Was the speech delivered ad lib? Of course, it wasn't. The President has realized his gaffe and has apologized. What are you on about then? 1 Like |

bejeiodus:you don't make it seem it's an offence that has never been committed in the history of the world. Again, if having Obama's line in buhari's speech makes him a "dullard" , what does it make Obama? |

Caseless:diff btwn obama and dullardiho Obama knew what he was saying. he's a vocal orator he may have quoted the good governor. but like he said he was inspired by the govs words dulardinho didn't even have a clue about what he was saying he just read paper. if "I'm proud of my name dulardinho" was written on the sheet he would have reeled it out like that it's an insult to compare prof Obama and certificateless dulardeen |
