"In Michelle Obama's 2008 speech in Denver, she said: "And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: like, you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them..."

Oh, LOOK! Melania said "to"! Moosehell said "to"! too!!!

How hard is it to realize that Michele lied??? Is she in competition with Hillary for #1 liar?
Hillary, Michele, and their husbands, have been on the government gravy trains their whole adult lives.
They have made mega millions being politicians. They are all hypocrites of the highest order.

Your bias only narrows your vision to the point of blindness.

Her speechwriters, or collaborators, likely plagiarized the First Lady's speech, not Melania. I doubt she had any idea of the striking similarities. Also, Trump's campaign staff & the RNC purport her to be a college graduate. According to records, she may not have even completed her freshman year in college.

Morgan

Predictably you didn't take the time to use my link and listen to the compared speeches, it is a blatant truth. Of course you deny it is your only defense for her and Trumps wife.

Morgan

I agree she simply obeyed her instructions, but I have no doubt Trump and his staff are the ones who took and changed it a little in hopes they can not be accused of plagiarism and to that extent they are probably correct, isn't it what kids did in high school with papers, this is the mentality they want in the White House????

I doubt that those very words have been spoken by many folks over many years. It is just you liberals have nothing better to do than try to dig up or manufacture dirt on anyone who isn't a liberal. You look for any slight misstep you can find whether true, intentional, or not just to exploit your idealism. Get a life and leave the woman alone.

It is foolish. But I think the foolishness is on those who put the speech together for the ever so rich pin up of an immigrant...


n her first major address before the nation on Monday night, Melania Trump appears to have plagiarized a number of lines from first lady Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The plagiarized passages, in bold below, concerned the importance of hard work and honesty.

“From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect,” Trump told the thousands of Republican delegates and assembled media on Monday night in Cleveland.

In 2008, Mrs. Obama said, “You work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.”

Trump’s spouse also lifted a line about children from Michelle Obama, saying, “We want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

In 2008, Michelle Obama said, “We want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

I don't believe the English language in this case, can be copyrighted. I also believe the speech writer should respond to this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let me ask: Who on God's green earth would steal ANYTHING FROM ANY OBAMA? The Trumps have some class. The Obama's have NO class.
Our worthless media is so brain dead that it cannot even make up a readable lie any more. They have lied themselves to mental death.

Morgan

That would be your party constantly digging things up and wasting the tax payers money by having people to defend false allegations. As clearly with Hillary Clinton since she went into office, the main objective was to discredit her, and slander her as they knew she would be running for president, I mean how transparent can you be?

Morgan

Typical people on the right who can't have an original thought.
