    I've said those same words many times myself. I guess I should sue that hideous Moochelle. Nasty woman!

    What a thread! And how many more pure envy notions from the left must we tolerate?

    Criticize all you want. And say hello to your next First Lady.

    I didnt know hard work and respect were trademarked by Michelle Obama...

    I guess the media needed something to talk about other then people shooting cops so this is it?

    You Trumpsters are getting weaker and weaker with your comebacks.

    You know full well that "treating people with respect" by itself isn't plagarism.

    But repeating whole phrases out of someone else's speech without attribution is.

    And that is what this appears to be.

    I watched her speech. She was OK. I finally turned it off, and didn't bother to stick around for Flynn.

    (what bonehead did the scheduling anyway? She, as the alleged headliner, should have been last on the program).

    When you look at today's average democrat, it's not hard to see why they think Moochelle invented the concept of hard work. The poor idjits don't have a clue how America was made great. When they vomit up something like this, it tells us far more about them that they likely want us to know. It's that entitlement thing!

    The same bonehead who booked Duck Dynasty, Chachi and a soap opera star.

    Looks like speech writing for things like these might be an underpopulated field. There certainly are some similarities, but a first lady speech is more than likely going to contain some of those kind of generalities IMO.

    I think she came off well last night.

    She is another talking head. Good grief, I suppose Trump runs his speech writing like he runs his business ventures - rip off anyone else and hope to make a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing buck. See trump steaks, trump board game, trump university, trump dildo line, trump truth serum line, etc etc etc

    Who was 'listening' to her speech?!

    Was she cute or what!

    Not just gorgeous looks but accent and her facial manerisms.

    Reading this thread I wonder if there are any Hetero men left out there?!

    The last line, no doubt came from the same pool of writers. The rest are generalities that may find in many speeches. However, she a prospective first lady and this matters about as much as Michelle's fake garden at the White House.

    Yep, a private citizen not seeking public office, power or responsibility, paraphrases another private citizen and it's news?

    OK.

    Plagiarism is the theft of intellectual property.

    Politicians do it all the time, even the current President has had his own problems with plagiarism. And each time it happens the supporting side says oh well that's no big deal and the opposition jumps up and down saying see criminal.

    Is what your parents told you when you were growing up intellectual property?

    Sorry bro these words in their exact order have been uttered and written by hundreds if not thousands over the years. Which means that Michelle is a plagiarist as well by your standard?

    That's cause you're used to the boring fraud Hillary and her mock shallow words about her cad husband while sporting her grandmother looks and grating post menopause voice.

    Ho hum, sounds like catty female jealousy

    It is hilarious that she copied the speech, though.

    Meh. Politicians are all the same, hollow suits thoroughly soulless from selling themselves to the highest bidder - Trump is no different.

    So the potential first lady who the Republicans claim is successful and intellgent says she wrote her own speech and then it turns out to have been plagerized from an actual sucessful and intelligent first lady is not an issue.

    Funny how when Hillary missspeaks you Republicans get all apoplectic but when your potential first lady lies it is no big deal.

    Then Hillary supporters must be even worse since a major part of the liberal demographic is of those who don't finish high school. Wanna talk about a party that relies on ignorance of their voters to win, look no farther than the democrats.

    No wonder democrats keep education down in urban areas. Can't be having smart people seeing past your BS.
