Marc Thiessen, former speechwriter for former U.S President George W. Bush has accused President Barack Obama of plagiarizing one of Bush's speeches for the Tuesday evening State of the Union address.
According to FOX NEWS, Thiessen said, "Barack Obama has gone from blaming George W. Bush to plagiarizing George W. Bush".
Thiessen read phrases from the 2007 speech which focused on the theme "hope and opportunity" for FOX NEWS. "It was eerily familiar. There were lines like 'Our job is to help Americans build a future of hope and opportunity, a future of hope and opportunity begins with a growing economy, a future of hope and opportunity requires that all citizens have affordable and available health care, extending opportunity and hope depends on a stable supply of energy,' all of that came from the 2007 State of the Union from George W. Bush," Thiessen said.
However, Politicio wrote that none of Obama's lines were directly lifted from Bush's 2007 address, though in both speeches the presidents repeatedly used versions of the word "opportunity" and both concluded with stories about veterans who had been wounded in combat.
