A couple of months ago I wrote an article about how Obama’s 2008 Presidential run is eerily similar to Deval Patrick’s 2006 run for governor of Massachusetts. I then went on to suggests that Obama will probably ruin the country, much the same way Deval is gearing up to ruin my state.

Well today we’ve got a fascinating story from the Big Head DC Blog - which alleges that Obama’s latest speech, informally titled “Words Matter,” is actually plagiarized from a 2006 speech by Deval Patrick entitled “Just Words.” You MUST check out this blog post, its fantastic - not just because of the eerie similarities, but also because both of these guys have the gall to compare themselves to Martin Luther King Jr.

Did you read it yet? Good! Here’s my commentary:

The implications of this blog post are really stunning. Obama and Deval are, politically, best buddies (I think Deval endorsed Obama back in mid-2007) and they’re running extremely similar campaigns. Again, I’ve been over this before, take a look.

But now we have these identical speeches. Regardless of whether or not you think Obama consciously copied Deval Patrick - the fact is they’re both run the same type of campaign - one based less on their resume and more on speeches and catchphrases. Then, when they’re challenged by their opponents for being too reliant on flashy speeches, they respond by comparing themselves to Martin Luther King Jr.

Obama may have real policies tucked away on his website (its right here) but you don’t hear him talking about politics - you hear him talking about “Hope” and “Change” and “Together We Can,” oh wait, “Together We Can” is a Deval Patrick line - Obama’s latest motto is “Yes We Can.”

Also, recently Hillary Clinton supporters have been chanting “Yes We Will!” at recent campaign events - the implication is obvious. Obama’s all talk - Hillary’s all action. Its a good angle for her to take. Sorry folks, but I’m just not sold on the O-Train.
