Obama takes hit on economic policy


Obama takes hit on economic policy


"Obama's plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism
that I have ever seen," McCain economic advisor Kevin Hassett said. The Clinton
campaign helpfully e-mailed his comments to reporters.
"He basically took
Clinton's words and Clinton's policies and called them his own," Hassett said.
"If I were a professor I'd give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school
for something this terrible ... I remember Mrs. Clinton saying shared prosperity
and I remember the bill that she introduced in August for infrastructure. The
fact is these are things Obama has taken as his own without crediting the source
of the ideas which was Mrs. Clinton."
Clinton herself said, "A plan that
fails to provide universal health care, fails to address the housing crisis, and
fails to immediately start creating good paying jobs in America again will not
turn the economy around and provide the real relief that our people need. We
need real results not more rhetoric."


I cannot believe that Barack Obama would steal Hillary Clinton's words and ideas on policies. It is wrong to steal someone else's words, especially if they are running for the president of our country.
