We are all entitled to our own opinions and indeed our ignorance. But I would like to remind you that rudeness and insults do not diminish others so much as they diminish you, Ms. Waters.

You just parapharased Santayana "those...history...condemned to repeat it" and did not credit the author. Several of the quotes Obama used are common knowledge to any literate person. "All we have to fear is fear itself", FDR, "I have a dream" MLKJr....and so on. If every speaker who uses others' "words" without attributing took the time to credit the author, they'd never get through a speech. Now they want footnotes? This is plagerism? Really!!! …apparently the Clinton campaign is now complaining that Obama is using other’s “words” and not attributing them to the author.
