Obama has been accused of plagiarism more than once, including a serious charge levied by Clinton. So now, we are politicising the term plagiarism even more. Plagiarism is based on authorship, not political positions. Copying a phrase or idea another politician has coined and using it as platform rhetoric is not plagiarism. If it is then plagiarism is nothing more than finding agreement and expressing your agreement in the same way. Plagiarism is wrong when an author has invented some original work that is valuable and which others should not claim the rewards for. Academic dishonesty is the most common but it is also a problem in profit industries like music and literature. People who are promoting ideas for public benefit are not plagiarists just because someone else has done so in the past. The most attributable political quotes are often not original. JFK was not the first to promote the idea, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can to for your country.'
