It's "hard work" to be President! (plagiarism, or just bad speech writing?)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/debatereferee/debate_0930.html
Debate with Mr. Kerry and Mr. Bush.
Bush mentions that being President is "hard work". That what he does is hard work. 11 times he uses that phrase.

This is just one example happened across with a quick search. Bush hardly ever does an interview or speech without using the phrase.

Now we hear this repeated by Hillary...
"It's about picking a president who relies not just on words but on work, on hard work,"

Now there is nothin wrong with the phrase, hard work itself, its just someone should have told hillary that we are sick and tired of after hearing it from a fascist pig for the last 7 years and that the phrase generally induces nausea by its association with the most dangerous leader in the world today.

I don't think it's plagiarism, but a bad choice of words.

It's not even Hillary's worst speech. Her worst speech, where she not only uses the same phrases as the Fascist thug in the White House, but gives him her full support to choose for himself when and if to attack another sovereign nation that had not attacked the US--- full support for a criminal war of aggression.

In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.

Pure bush-shit.

awww, but here is her worst line of all. This may be the line that doomed her candidacy. Amazing that it came out for her lips.

If the most important thing to any of you is choosing someone who did not cast that vote or has said his vote was a mistake, then there are others to choose from.


There are indeed others to choose from.

1. I remember watching that debate at a Dem party party
and we whooped and yelled each time Bush said "hard work" I couldn't believe it when I heard Senator Clinton using that same phrase.

should have known, that it should not be used, as least for a few years, if you are trying to woo democrats.

That is not a very substantial issue.

now supporting the IWR... that remains a substantial issue.

(i just saw make Bush this terribly disgusting interview with a fawning Ann Curry, and sure enough, he put in a few "hard work" phrases)

4. Is hillary just borrowing lines from her friend Bush again? No big deal
I'm sure they've talked on the phone and he let her use it.
