Campaign speeches are not books, law review notes, or even blog posts, so I'm not sure it's plagiarism to borrow riffs from someone else's stump rant. Indeed, few politicians offer their own words, as opposed to those of paid writers, in their speeches. It is a bit ironic, though, that Obama would defend himself against charges that all he has to offer is words by borrowing the words of another politician.
As I said, Stupid dispute.
You are incrementally more critical of Obama than I. I'm not sure there are any new language formulations. It think it was effective and appropriate as a countermeasure, even though I think the original criticism of "content free" has validity.
I put this up more for the video than any utility the issue might have.
TYFCB.
