Call us cynics, but we thought that Will.i.am Barack Obama video had all the appeal and sincerity of a Gap (RED) ad. But then we watched the John McCain version, we got the point.

Clip of the Day
- The "Yes We Can" John McCain Remix
RadarOnline.com —
In this pretty funny parody of Will.i.am's celeb-heavy "Yes We Can" Obama support video, front-runner for the Republican nomination John McCain gets taken to task for, among other things, his quote, "I don't think Americans are concerned whether we're there [in Iraq] for a hundred years, or a thousand years, or ten thousand years." Tentative withdrawal date: 12,008? [Via Politico ]
McCain And Obama Get Remixed
TV with MeeVee —
You might have seen the Obama speech remixed by Jesse Dylan (the singer for The Wallflowers, best known as the son of Bob Dylan) and Will.i.am. You know, the one with a whole bunch of stars alongside Barack Obama as he calls out his message of hope, and everyone singing "yes we can."
Well, no YouTube video phenomenon is complete without a response video, and Towle Road has pointed us to a brilliant montage of McCain soundbites given the same singalong treatment. It's called "like hope, but different."
'Yes, We Can' Parodies Better Than 'Yes, We Can' [Maybe, Someone Can]
Wonkette » top —
Finally, people are mocking that “Yes, We Can” internet sensation video, a.k.a. the most compelling reason thus far not to vote for Barack Obama. After the jump, two somewhat funny parodies involving John “WALNUTS!” McCain. See, if they’re parodies, they also support Barack Obama, but in a less grating way than “Yes, We Can” does! This parody concept is brilliant.
Here’s oooone:
And here’s another:

Barack Obama Is Your New Mashup (Or, "The Audacity Of Obama Memes") [Barack Obama]
Gawker —
Barack Obama is like Kermit the Frog: Someone else may be your personal favorite, but he's the one that gets the most attention, so he's the one who ends up in all the parodies. Obama can be mashed up with any meme, because anyone can assign him any qualities: like Kermit, his everyman status makes him ripe for satire. To demonstrate, in no particular order but numbered anyway, here are the top twelve memes that swept up Obama. 1. The Progress Poster: By the artist who brought you "OBEY" comes "PROGRESS."

McCain Would Make Blacks Miss Bush
Black Voices Blogs —
[image] John McCain is showing no love to black Republicans say some who are being left out of his campaign outreach . According to Yvonne R. Davis, a former national co-chair for African Americans for Bush , McCain's efforts to enlist black support pale in comparison to soon to be former President George Bush's. Minus a couple of black folks seen with him on the campaign trail, you still don't see many in the room with McCain when he is meeting and greeting or standing in crowds. What you see with McCain are packs of what Ron Heifetz in the Harvard Executive Leadership School calls older "silverback" white males. ...
The Internet Totally Loves That McCain Called His Wife A C*nt [John McCain]
Gawker —
Remember when John McCain called his wife the worst possible word? Not enough! But that's solved with this sketch from the same YouTube comedy group that made john.he.is, a clever and popular parody of will.i.am's "Yes We Can." In the sketch, a TV news team argues about whether to publicize that the Republican presidential candidate once called Cindy McCain a cunt. The self-aware humor of the team constantly reciting this fact, then saying how if only they were online they could drive the association into people's brains, actually doesn't get old! The clip is below, and warning: half the dialogue is, ...
