Hillary "borrowing" language from Obama

We have heard too many commentators saying Hillary is desperate by pointing out Obama has plagiarized Deval Patrick's speech. If Hillary is desperate for pointing out Obama's plagiarism, what does it mean when Obama's campaign puts out a memo outlining "statements" that Hillary lifted from Obama?

Does anyone honestly believe that Obama can lay claim to phrases like "Bring the country together," or "turn the page?" I find the memo insulting, because these are two phrases we have heard in reference to each and every political campaign. Did Obama lift "turn the page" from the Pete Seeger song by the same title? What politician does not aspire to bring the country together? That is the most common refrain at every political rally I have ever been to.
