In your own words

Prompted by the panelists, Obama and Clinton had their first real disagreement of the evening over whether Obam had plagiarized the words of one of his supporters.
"This is when we get in the silly season in politics,' Obama said. "I;ve been giving a lot of speeches and some of them are pretty good. We shouldn't be spending time tearing each other down. We should be spending time buildng the country up.'
To which Clinton responded: "If your candidacy is going to be about words, they should be your own words. Lifting whole passages isn;t change you can believe in. It's change you can Xerox."
