Clinton accuses Obama of plagiarizing a speech

After weeks of saying that Barack Obama is all talk and no action, Hillary Clinton's campaign is taking their attacks to a new level.  They are accusing Obama of swiping a speech called Just Words from his longtime friend Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts.  You can watch excerpts from both speeches below.

Sure, the speeches are similar.  But politicians, including Sen. Clinton, take lines from each other all the time.  Here's what Gov. Patrick had to say about the matter:

Sen. Obama and I are longtime friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language. The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Sen. Clinton, I applaud him [for] responding in just the way he did.
