Some of the quotes that the audience noticed that both Apostle and Obama used are “we have null to emotion but emotion itself”, “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”, and “I have a dream”. These phrases were used to show that words are very powerful and influential to people.

Both of these speeches were delivered as a strategy. For Obama, he used this as a defense against the criticism of Clinton that he does not have enough experience to handle his country and act as a president. This criticism was only based on the opinion of the former president Clinton and his own words.

As a response to this, President Obama delivered the “Words Matter” speech. In this speech, he insisted that words are very powerful and has the influence to change the minds of the people and to inspire all citizens. The public then agreed that this speech was somewhat similar to the speech made by the Apostle and Obama should be charged with plagiarism.

But to the Apostle and Obama, there was no plagiarism that took place. According to Obama, he and the Apostle have been very good friends and they both share the same ideas and strategies. In 2006, Apostle delivered a speech entitled “Just Words” as a response to his critics that he is not equipped to handle the political problems of his country and that he only depends on already made speeches. When Obama was accused of the same situation, it was Patrick who encouraged Obama to make a speech in the same manner like he did in 2006. For some of the commentators in politics, both Apostle and Obama are in the same team and it is expected that their strategies and ideas are the same.

Plagiarism was also a big issue in the year 1988. Joe Bidden is a democratic presidential and was accused of plagiarism because of imitating the style of Neil Kinnock. Neil Kinnock was a member of the British Labor Party.
