Clinton Cribs Obama Phrase In Speech, Obama Responds

"We are fired up and we are ready to go because we know America is ready for change and the process starts right here in Iowa."

In Davenport, Iowa, those words escaped the barriers of a tired Hillary Clinton's teeth.

UPDATE: Obama responds on Good Morning America: "I'm glad she's fired up, and I'm glad she is ready to go. . . . I want everyone on the change bandwagon right now." "My voice has pretty much left me."

hillary just misspoke...

all of the candidates are sleep-deprived & bugged out...

they all look a little nuts...

O.K Arianna, I think we get that you are head over heels for Obama and oddly hateful of Hillary, you bias isn't fooling anyone. Ugh! Is there one place that I can get real unbiased news? Anywhere?????

HuffPost is stunning in its bias against Clinton. Obama has cribbed tons of Hillary AND Edwards phrases throughout the campaign, and yet this is the only time, there's a headline about it.

I'm an Obama supporter and I think this is nitpicking. But nobody in this game is innocent of nitpicking. Obama couldn't point out Hillary's dishonesty without being accused of "abandoning hope."
She could smear him all day long and when he called her out, she'd say, "Why has Obama abandoned the politics of hope?"
I, for one, am exhausted from the trivial crap and am thrilled that today is the first step toward an Obama '08!
HRC is going DOWN baby!
Peace,

This is so silly. Who is cribbing who? And, really, who cares?

The New York Observer reported Hillary used the phrase, "kick my tires" on Septemer 3, 2007. A small excerpt of the article is reproduced below.,

Hillary Clinton received warm support from an audience of union workers and advocates in Sioux City, especially when she paid tribute to the importance of the Iowa caucuses in testing Presidential candidates.
"You kind of kick my tires," she said adding, "The road to the White House goes right through Sioux City."

From 7NoTrumpXX: And, wasn't HOPE the theme of President Clinton's first campaign, since he was from HOPE, Arkansas? I know the Clinton campaign used that word a lot. Obamba certainly can't lay claim to that word, HOPE, just as he can't lay claim to the Kick my Tires phrase which as been around since Goodyear made the first rubber tire.

Enough of this nit-picking already.

Look at JayHome's recent comments on other stories.

He's obviously some paid monkey sitting in a dark hole in an other-than-Obama campaign headquarters " one who's regurgitating the same arguments over and over. Keep using identical language and hit that copy-paste function hard, Jay. Earn that paycheck.

Lame.

"Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?

Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand." Neil Kinnock

I am so glad I saw Chris Matthews immediately confront Hillary's Communication Director Howard Wolfson after he had the audacity to steal Obama's hard won message and original phrases and attribute them to Hillary on Hard Ball last night. Chris Matthews seized the moment right there and then and didn't let Wolfson get away with such a patently cheap shot...During, Hillary's closing argument today, she shamelessly and transparently channeled Obama's own phraseology and Acted as if his unique message belonged to her. This increasingly bizarre and desperate parallel process campaign stunt is no accident. Now Hillary's campaign is credited with bringing a whole new meaning to "Look! They're trying to steal the election..." Chris Matthews spoke for all of us when he nipped Howard Wolfson's behavior in the bud on the eve of the Iowa Caucuses. This is a Hopeful and sure fire sign that we have collectively profited from a toxic 2000 election experience
and won't be fooled again.

well, the good news is, America, in 24 hours you will never hear the word IOWA again for quite some time

If Biden did that they would cruxify him. in fact they did in 1988, when he borrowed part of a British Labor Party politician's speech.

The difference was Neil Kinnock of the labor party
explained the change he wanted.

If the conservative win, you say you will be better off, "I warn you not to be ordinary. I warn you not to be young. I warn you not to fall ill. I warn you not to get old." ...Neil Kinnock

There you go Huffy, spin in your own dark world !
"Change" as far I know was a proper English word in the dictionary. All of a sudden, acording to huffy is an American word just invented by Obama.
What is the agenda here ?

My disdain for Hellary has nothing to do with her supposedly being a woman! I love women and would vote for one for president readily. But, let's not vote for Klinton just because of gender: think back to that administration, all of the spies, lies, corruption, deaths, smears, immorality, backstabbing, laws broken, drugs, bribes, Chinese spies, payoffs, character assinations, assasinations, investigations, using dead people, theft, obfescations, stealing china, destruction of public property, threats to bimbos, assaults, rape accusations, sex not sex, asprin factory murders, tyrant coddling, Whtewatering, Rose law firming, missing files, DNA disapearance, Foster bodies, Lies in diaries, lawyers commiting suicide, hidden agendas, payoffs, Luewinskiing, coverups, mismanagements, bodies in the parks, bodies in the cell, bodies in the water, nuclear secrets being sold, FBI files stolen, blackmailings, ..... all with Hellary right smack dab in the middle either orchestrating or covering up!
Use your memories people!

Other than that I have nothing against her.

Hey, I said the same thing to my Mama yesterday as we was eating grits and a couple of jowls. "I'm fired up Mama, 'cause I know 'Merica gonna change and it gonna take place right cher at da table." You see, we're all in this together, we all say the same thing some time in the last 24 hours.

The rumor in Iowa is that Obama had eggs with toast this morning for breakfast. That is exactly the same breakfast that Hillary had.

What the f*ck is up with that?

This election has taught me one thing, I despise Chris Matthews, he is a worthless slug.
