    How do you all feel about the potential first Lady's speech? Have you seen it side-by-side with Michelle Obama's speech in 2008? Pretty curious.

    Time for a speech writer to lose his job.sloppy.

    I havent seen the two side by side, but I assume someone plagerized, probably unintentionally, but he still has to go.

    In the big picture it is of no consequence but that wont stop the media from blabbering on about it.

    Might be interesting to compare the moral character of Hillary's spouse with Trump's...

    Both speeches were probably written by professional speech writers and I suspect especially Melania's, and probably Michelle's were rehearsed and coached about pauses, inflections, and style. They are both nice talks, but really did not say a lot and may not represent true feelings and intentions. They are planned candidate marketing and don't say much about the person. It would be more interesting to hear her talk extemporaneously or in a question and answer situation. Whether the two speeches are similar or plagiarized doesn't seem to matter.

    The first lady hopefuls for the next century could probably just say the same speech over and over anyway.

    All the news outlets are rushing out histories of political plagiarism today (Obama, Biden, Harper, etc.). It's almost like they all had something in the can, and were waiting for the next incident to use it. I'm not terribly shocked. The ancient bards routinely cut and pasted new names into their best stuff to serve the market for epic grandiosity. Why should the teleprompter panegyrists of today be any different?
