Was Obama's Use of Patricks's Words Plaigirism

You know I once volunteered at the Democratic convention, I was too young to vote and they forgot to send me a volunteer certificate though others did receive one, however everyday I would accompany an out of state delegate to the convention, so I suppose her word that I volunteered is good enough for me. I suppose the high points were seeing Ron Brown talk to delegates. He was a phenom.

However to me, the truly impressive part of the convention was the press area. It took up a huge area of the convention center. However the truly awesome thing about the press area was the fact that the area had printed speeches of the participants hot off the press. As an award winning extemporaneous speaker, as an award winning debater, the thought that what came out of my mouth was so valued really meant a lot. As a speaker who worked tirelessly and never accepted and never wanted help, and because of the strong warnings year after year against plagiarism by the teachers I respected very much. Year after year it was instilled in me to use my own words and I was afraid not to for the same reasons I would not cheat I was afraid that any repetition of someones words would cast doubt on my character and make me an awful person, the use of others works would make me feel little.

However to reflect on my school days, there were people who would retool a song they heard on the radio and turn it is as their own, the class would laugh because they all knew and this person's popularity and their popularity would rise, rise rise. This was the attitude in I suppose the general English class I was in, however it was a totally different story in advanced and AP, I think people took everything they wrote and they said seriously their was pride in making your words your own.

As for the charges against Obama, I think we all need to recognize that the Ivy League is just not what it used to be, or just not what it was. I understand that Obama transferred to Columbia, a school that I've respected for a long time, however the media behavior outside of the tight lipped PBS has been atrocious, and has made me lose enormous respect for the media profession, what Columbia was once famous for. I am convinced now that at least half of the press corp pulls out a napkin, sprinkles a white powder on the napkin and sniffs with the exception of PBS and the local news folks. In any event I am disappointed that a graduate of Columbia did not take borrowing more seriously especially since if it had never bee caught, history would have recorded the speech as Obama's . Obama and Patrick say that it does not matter ,it's unimportant. However, I've recorded my strong reaction to one of Obama's speeches on this blog and for me it it does matter. To think that any response that I have is gotten from me because of words that have been repeated over and over again by others is in the least disappointing. At most what it boils down to is I've been pimped. A junior pimp learns from a senior pimp the right way to touch their prey, what to say to them , when to slap them, and when to put them out on the streets. I suppose for Duvall Patrick and Barack Obama to say that "borrowing" does not matter really means to them the words that come out of their mouth are really "JUST WORDS" their respective campaign managers just found good actors to recite words to the point of winning an election, and for those of you accusing Hillary Clinton of borrowing, the rule I remember is repeating less than ten words is not plagiarism, so for the media reporting on Clinton, your mass media studies have failed you.

In any event I have to watch GO PIMP MY RIDE. You see Americans are used to being pimped and really like it.

SCANDAL IN ATLANTA: HEIRS TO THE KING LEGACY MAY BE TARNISHED - New York Times

Is it possible for one to serve our country in a political sense and be drug addicted according to one political wife it is. When I lived in San Francisco I ran into a people who were drug abusers, the very beautiful pan handler that told me that she had lost three hundred pounds from using crack, the extremely good looking man I met with AIDS who was a drug addict. My point is there are physical characteristics that drug addicts have especially male abusers, long and lean emaciated almost. It is my opinon and just my opinion that Barack Obama has that look. A caller on cspan once inquired whether the candidates would have a drug test. I would like to know if Barack Obama would have one or in the least give a lock of his hair for a drug test. Maybe his barber would give a lock of his hair doubtful but a thought. I say this to say that Barack Obama may have inherited John Kennedy's legacy according to Kennedy's relatives but he has not inherited the legacy of Dr. King. If you have any doubt about this, you should ask the children of Dr. King who have not taken a stance if they want their father's name associated with an admitted drug user and a believer and a supporter of partial birth abortion and Dr. King met the moral standard. I think the minister that Dr. King's daughter ministers at is supporting HIllary Clinton.

In any event the belief that a political figure can not be a drug addict and a politician is debunked by the above articles and I will publish the whole series of articles once I come upon them.

As the Democratic party has given a far left liberal on his own terms so much support. They are electing a man with so many of the qualities responsible for the problems in the inner city and some rural portions of our nation. The United States is showing the dichotomy between the poor and the rich with Obama's triumph. Obama wears a suit, publicly say's he has been a drug user and a gang member and becomes a major candidate in a democratic election. Sunshine, a 19 year old girl I met, a non-drug user, healthy and fit say's FUCK THE POLICE and ends up in jail. Someone, a younger person has asked me about Obama's being a member of the chum gang and whether he participated in drive by shootings. I had to think about his age and say no he probably did not participate in drive by shootings but the seventies was a time when he may have broken into someone's car or business and was a heavy drug user. I said to myself thank goodness that I did not have to say this man may have been a participant in a drive by shooting. However aif OBama is elected and goes on to become president I predict a huge rise in drug use and a huge rise in crime, and all those affluent whites who are voting for him, I predict a huge rise in Gates not Bill Gates but gated communities and the poor will be the ones who have to deal with the brunt of the fall out.

As an African American we have to face the facts that we don't care about the morlas of our leaders, and have to question if all of the Sunday morning church attendance is a facade for ourselves and not a real offer of service to a moral God who I know, my God is not down with third term abortion.
