Obama and Vanilla Ice -- Together At Last?

Posted Feb 21st 2008 1:32PM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama has been dogged with accusations that he's stealing stump speech material from Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, including his famous slogan "Yes, we can."

Several observers have pointed out that one of Obama's chief policy advisers used to work for Patrick, but as this hot-off-the-YouTube video suggests, maybe he's better off using a certain early '90s rap sensation -- if he really wants to convince the people that he's not a plagiarist.

5. I don't understand, the music is from David Bowie's Under Pressure.

Oh, and Barack Obama seems to be whiter than Vanilla Ice. Is Obama a real black or is it just make up?

12. Forget Deval Patrick- They BOTH totally stole that line from Bob the Builder.

All Obama needs is a time out and a sippy cup full of apple juice.

15. Hey, there's this thing called READING. You might want to look into it. Governor Deval Patrick gave an interview to the NY Times stating that he and Barack Obama talked about the speech BEFORE it was given and Governor Patrick gave his permission for Obama to use elements of his speech. He also stated that he asked Obama NOT to credit him. Maybe you people should spend less time running your mouths and more time checking your facts.
