Did Vivek Ramaswamy Copy Barack Obama's 2004 DNC Speech?

Copying in the face of difficulty. Copying in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of copying what is arguably the most popular speech of the 21st century.

What endeared people to former Pres. Barack Obama was not just what he said, but how he said things, a fact MAGA seems to have a hard time understanding.

Vivek Ramaswamy even copied the way Barack Obama speaks - he was trying to do a full-on impression.😬

[name.terrie]

Obama's speech was great and inspiring....guess Vivek thought it was too 😜

[FuzzyStayBuzzin]

I remember when Trump's wife did the same thing

Seeing this just made me realize how much I miss President Obama. And I wasn't even his biggest fan (even though I did vote for him). There were struggles under Obama's presidency, but I always felt like our country was in good hands and we would make it through. I don't feel that way at all today. I trust President Biden, but MAGA spends every day trying to make Americans suffer in order to enrich themselves and their wealthy donors, as well as placate Christian extremists. We're in a very frightening time in our country's history. And I don't know if we'll make it through.

Vivek's been watching too many Obama speeches that he doesn't even know he's outright copying him. 😂😂😂😂

[suannestarot]

He attempted but was unsuccessful. His words lack truth or heart. Nice try 🤣🦋

[brucewilkinson]

Vivek should make sure to always carry his papers with him so he doesn't get rounded up too.

[thablackguy]

Can y'all stop copying from the black guy's(and his wife"s) paper please?

[charmedlilsis]

Wow. Just sad. And the fact that he is still entrenching himself with those ppl after being told by one of them that she would never have voted for him bc he is Indian. Vivek needs to read the room and leave it.

[Allaiya.]

Wouldn’t be surprised if this is what he typically does

[bianca-sgzq]

Copying African-Americans... priceless. First Melania and now Vivek!! 🤣

[christopherdollbaum]

For the right, it's all new talking points.
There's little chance they heard this before.

[DavidJerome-vt]

Melania plagiarized Michelle but I don't think Vivek did the same. Stating "there's no (insert races), only Americans" is a well-worn cliche, along with anything about "change".

[stevenbennett]

I wonder who is watching the 7 Eleven when he attends these Trump Bund Rallies.

[AjanthaSriramya-njrh]

Those two statements have always been popular amongst the candidates from the past not just Obama & Vivek. Vivek oratory and intellectual skills are far more superior to Obama. This guy is on another level, he will become the first brown president of the US for sure. Indians are the educated browns.

[heavenblueu]

vivek “ The Snake “ ramaswamy, the guy is a joke.

[soniyasinha]

it is a natural conclusion.. well said

[yurp]

He had to look at and hear *how* he said it.

If he only had the transcript…….🫢

Movin’on
🚶🏿‍♂️

[johnolsovsky]

"skinny guy with a funny last name:" it's conceivable Vivek borrowed that almost hoping people would recognize it as an obama homage, which is better than stealing it from him, but still not a good sign

[lucycan]

They all have to copy him. He has left them with a legacy to follow they cannot deny that. No matter how they try to downplay it, they will revert back to something he said or did so that they can build on their repertoire. 😊😊
