This quote will air tonight at 9:36 pm est. on BLOOMBERG TELEVISION’s "Money & Politics."  The quote is from the "Dollars and Sense" segment with Gene Sperling and Kevin Hassett:

The fact is that Obama's [economic] plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism that I have ever seen. He basically took Clinton's words and Clinton's policies and called them his own. If I were a professor I'd give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school for something this terrible...If I were on the Clinton team, I'd be prepping memos.

- Kevin A. Hassett, Senior Fellow and Director of Economic Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute, John McCain adviser  (H/t AndreWalker08 at MyDD.com)

It must also be noted that John Edwards' economic stimulus plans were also widely acknowledged to be vastly superior to Obama's far weaker plans.

1. Hillary Clinton's opposition to NAFTA as "Republican economics," and

2. Stephen Schlesinger's report on the conservative economists who advise Barack Obama (which helps explain why Paul Krugman is critical of both Obama's economic stimulus and health care plans).
