Barack Obama is stealing material....

....from Chris Rock. We own this movie called "Head of State" in which Chris Rock runs for president of the United States. His rise to fame comes after he began to give inspirational speeches that people could relate with. And on top of that, he is running against a Republican who is a war hero. Has a lot of strange parallels to what is going on now and that was released over four years ago. Here are some example in which Obama seems to be using this material:

Here is Chris Rock's first inspirational speech similar to how "Yes We Can" inspired people.



And if you fast forward ahead to 2:10, Obama is using the same mantra:



And at 6:00 in the Chris Rock movie, is his litany about how he is an amateur on certain subjects:


And Obama does something similar in the 2nd presidential debate at 2:40 of this video:


Not everything is the same. There is no Palin-McBiden Vice Presidents and Rock's character starts off as an alderman. But it does have a number of interesting parallels. Its as if the Obama team poured through the video and took out the best parts of it to use for their campaign.

There was an issue with the debate in the movie as well.

I'd be willing to bet that Chris Rock probably wrote Obama's material for him. So he's probably stealing from himself.

Either that or he brought in Dane Cook...
