We just couldn't help but notice some, ummm, similarities between the web sites of Barack Obama and Bernard Parks.

Yes, the Parks website is verifiably based on code from the Obama site. Every web page has source code that tells the computer what to display. The code for parksforsupervisor.com includes this comment at the very top:
saved from url=(0036)http://www.barackobama.com/index.php

Also, the code for the Parks page actually still includes many references barackobama.com and even embeds some images directly from the Obama web site. If you click the thick horizontal gray bar below "Support the Movement" above "Meet Bernard Parks - For LA County Supervisor", you will be taken to the Obama site. Oops!

You can see the source code in your web browser with the View->Page Source (Firefox or Internet Explorer 6) or Page->View Source (Internet Explorer 7).

Did you hear the new pop song written by Parks supporters? It's culled from various Parks campaign speeches and it's called, "Yes We Could"
