John.he.is


What’s a better way to compare the two candidates then with the same media?

 

Yes We Can


The video John.he.is is exactly like the endorsing video for Obama, Yes We Can. It has the exact same video layout, of some split screen, a variety of people, black and white, and plenty of face time for the candidate.


John.he.is


Only the point of the McCain video is drastically different.

Its comical, in the way it starts out and makes the you believe it was made by Republicans firing back to support McCain. Then, its takes a spin, and strengthens comments made by McCain that are not so reassuring.

The people in the video second-guessing the words they just agreed with are quite funny. One man says a comment with McCain, then asks “what??”  Others just have the look of pure confusion on their faces.

Then it outlines what I would consider political death. McCain states that he “doesn’t think Americans are concerned if we’re in Iraq for the next 100 years, 1000 years or even 10,000 years”…

Yeah, political death.

And the makers of the video would agree with me. The video ends with “Iraq Withdrawal Date: 12,008. Good luck with that in November”. Personally, I find it hilarious. What a better way to make a point, then add some humor with fact?

This works because you see both of the candidates in the same light. The makers of the John.he.is video took the same ideas from the Yes We Can video and compared McCain the same way, taking parts of his speeches, and embellishing them.
