Well they probably didn’t really copy, they probably just found the same theme as myself and edited it of course.

Our lives begin to end
the day we become silent
about things that matter.
- Martin Luther King. Jr.

Then it begins like this:

Dear President Obama,

With your historic inauguration as the 44th President of the United States, we share our sincerest congratulations and
hope that you will uphold your commitment to change.

It continues on discussing the one-sided support in the Middle East and highlights these four major points:

• End the longstanding blockade and allow humanitarian aid to reach Gaza.
• Demand that Israel adhere to international law.
• Call for a lasting and enforceable ceasefire respected by all parties.
• Reevaluate the $3 billion of annual U.S. aid to Israel .

Good job to all those who were part of this project.

People will judge you on what you build not what you destroy

We will lend you a hand only if you unclentch your fists.

I hope this year the economy will improve and jobs in America will be on the increase.

It’s a parody of TI’s song, “Whatever you like”.

Here are the Lyrics:

Lyrics:

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

(McCain supporters)
McCain’s the best candidate
With Palin as his running mate
They’ll fight for gun rights, pro life,
The conservative right
Our future is bright
Better economy in site
And all the world will feel our military might

(Obama supporters)
But McCain and Bush are real close right
They vote alike and keep it tight
Obama’s new, he’s younger too
The Middle Class he will help you
He’ll bring a change, he’s got the brains
McCain and Bush are just the same
You are to blame, Iraq’s a shame
Four more years would be insane

Lower your Taxes – you know Obama Won’t
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS – You know McCain won’t!
Have enough experience – you know that they don’t
STOP GLOBAL WARMING – you know that you won’t

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA
Stick with McCain and you’re going to have some drama
We need it
HE’LL BRING IT
He’ll be it
YOU’LL SEE IT
We’ll do it
GET TO IT
Let’s move it
DO IT!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

I’m talking big pipe lines, and low gas prices
Below $2.00 that would be nice

But to do it right we gotta start today
Finding renewable ways that are here to stay

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA,
Stick wit McCain you gone have some drama
MORE WAR IN IRAQ
Iran he will attack
CAN’T BRING OUR TROOPS BACK
We gotta vote Barack!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

The Navigation Menu

BarackObama.com has a sleek design with a rollover secondary-menu appear effect similar to JohnMcCain.com, except it features more secondary navigation items in less space.  JohnMcCain.com’s primary nav item “Issues” lists a long secondary menu that stretches half the window depending on your resolution settings.

Homepage Look and Feel

When I looked at JohnMcCain.com, I immediately saw room for improvement with graphical design.  The center content area isn’t dynamic like BarackObama.com which has a dynamic content slider.  Also, there is much less content on JohnMcCain.com than BarackObama.com, which perhaps might be a good thing depending on the user, it can still use a lot more graphical and usability improvement.

Social Networking Links

On BarackObama.com you will see at the bottom of the right sidebar all of major social networking sites with links to Obama’s profiles on each of them.  On JohnMcCain.com, I couldn’t find anything, but then again McCain is from a different age group and era of America.

The Code

A simple right click and view source (or if you have the FireBug plugin for Firefox) you can inspect the code to see how tidy and professional it is.  Again, BarackObama.com impresses me much more than JohnMcCain.com.

jQuery!  BarackObama.com uses jQuery (of which I am huge fan of) while JohnMcCain.com doesn’t.  McCain’s site also is pretty messy at the top due to the javascript in the header.  They could have put that in a .js file and included it in one line to make life easier, but then again that’s just my personal opinion and preference.

Totally random fact, but Obama’s site uses Google analytics, but McCain’s site doesn’t.

Conclusion

Vote!
