The Obama Plagiarism Scandal: It's Much, Much Worse!
Here at IsThatLegal we've set our crack team of researchers to work, and we've discovered something that's going to blow the lid off this whole thing.
It turns out that Deval Patrick himself cribbed major portions of his speech without attribution!
At one point, for example, Patrick said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." It turns out that Ted Sorensen John F. Kennedy said that!
And we have learned that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" were actually the words of Franklin Roosevelt. (no link available -- no time right now -- researchers are still trying to identify the precise source.)
"I have a dream" also sounds familiar to me, but I can't quite place it. We're working on that one.
