Barack Hussein Obama (President of the United States)

Obama’s case occurred in 2008, when he was running for President.

His words….“Don’t tell me words don’t matter! ‘I have a dream.’ Just words. ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ Just words. ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself.’ Just words, just speeches.”

Words accused of plagiarising….”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal’- just words. Just words. ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself”- just words. ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country’ – just words. ‘I have a dream’ – just words.” (2oo6 speech by former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick)
