According to The Politico's Ben Smith , Senator Hillary Clinton said the words "Fired Up And Ready To Go" -- a tagline constantly used by Senator Barack Obama and the Obama for America campaign. Clinton does not credit Obama for the original use of the term, nor does Clinton know why Obama came to use it.
That's a clear theft of a term used by Obama, who's opposing Clinton in the 2008 Presidential race.
Smith reports Clinton saying, "We are fired up and we are ready to go, because we know that America is ready for change," Hillary said moments ago in Davenport, melding Obama's signature line into one of hers in a sort of campaign slogan medley.
She's also got a radio ad out casting her as the candidate of "hope," TIME's Mark Halperin reports.
The term "Fired Up and Ready To Go" came from a small group of Obama supporters in South Carolina.
