Looks like Bernard Parks did use Barack Obama's web site as a template

10:18 AM | May 21, 2008

Parks_or_obama We posted pix yesterday about the uncanny resemblance between the campaign web sites for LA County Supe candidate Bernard Parks, and presidential hopeful Barack Obama. (And thanks to intrepid reporter, Jean-Paul Renaud, for the tip.)

Now comes this comment from a reader who checked the code (just go the th web site and right-click, then choose "view page source") that the templates are, indeed, the same. Not only that, plenty of Obama's campaign DNA remains caught in the Park's web site:Obama

...the code for the Parks page actually still includes many references barackobama.com and even embeds some images directly from the Obama web site.

Try this: see where it says "Meet Bernard Parks"? Click on it and it takes you right to...Barack Obama's presidential campaign web site. And the gray bar above that? Another link to a Barack Obama page. Oops.

Wishful thinking? (And seriously, guys, you can easily find a lovely open-source template here.)

Comments

This is what we should expect from Parks, stolen ideas and and a staff that can't even do that right. Or he he going to deny that he know nothing about what was being done on his campaign.

I was just forced to take my first furlough day last week because the City claims it has no money. Now...it's okay for the City to foot the bill for a public memorial for Michael Jackson?
