Funniest Obama Speech Criiticism Yet, IMHO
Okay, so there is this thing running around that Obama "plagiarized" a line from Aaron Sorkin's "The American President". The line from that script is:
"This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up. My name is Andrew Shepherd, and I *am* the President."
Okay now boys and girls, this one really tickles my funnybone.
The other day, the "Obama doesn't love America the way we do" TeaBagLady explained, "Obama has never run anything in his LIFE!"
These people seem stuck in 2008, and have been in denial ever since, because they obviously are incapable of noticing the simple fact that, yes TeaBagLady, apart from your oversimplification of his biography, he has in fact been running the office of president for the last three and a half years. Now, I know the birthers have this "he's not really the president" vibe going on, but most sane and reasonably informed people, if asked "Who is the president of the US?" would answer correctly.
But it is only in this denialist mindset do you come up with even imagining that if the President of the United States says, "I'm the President," then he must have plagiarized that brilliant piece of insightful commentary on what his job is.
It's like they are thinking, "Oh, why didn't Mitt think of saying that?"
I mean, come on now, these people go to a restaurant, sit down, and have someone come to their table to say, "I'm Julie, and I am your waitress" and whip out their smartphones to Google out where she came up with a line like that.
