I'm honored that POTUS would plagiarize a line from my speech last week. Where's the outrage? #DemsInPhilly https://twitter.com/politico/status/758653259913527296

That tweet linked to another from Politico, quoting Obamas Wednesday DNC speech. That is not the America I know, Obama said of Trumps vision for the country. Trump Jr. also at one point said Thats not the America I know during his convention speech.
Needless to say, the phrase not the America I know is an extremely common one in politics. Obama has used the phrase in earlier speeches, as has George W. Bush.

Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday accused President Obama from lifting a line from his speech at the Republican convention. However, variations of the line in question have been used before by Obama before.
Both men did use the line "This is not the America I know" in their respective convention speeches.
But as NBC News pointed out, Obama has used versions of this line in several past speeches. In a 2010 speech, he used the line, "That is not the America we believe in." And in addresses delivered in 2012 and 2016, he used the line, "That's the America I know."
