Obama: The Audacity of Plagiarism

One of his now much praised banner phrases which he used during his Super Tuesday victory speech - "We Are the Ones We've Been Waiting For" (video here [mark 00:33], transcript here) - is not really his own.

He borrowed it without giving any credit to the author - Alice Walker. It is the name of her book.

Alice Walker should write a book about that. Certainly, she likes to run down black men, so why not Obama?
