How does this in any way, shape, or form NOT belong in the PL?

Maybe he wants to make this thread about the design of the site and not its content?

I liked you better when you were Gossamer, Laminar, you seemed much less uptight back in the good ol' days.

The website looks nice, very polished
I'm sure this thread will degrade into a political argument and find its way into the PL

Wow what kind of liberal America-hating hippie freeloader designed that site?

It's quite easy to navigate.

Not much spanish yet on the website. Good to navigate. Looks presidential. Three stars now, four when they get the spanish content.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

I just figured it'd be in Arabic since he's...you know...an Arab.

I'll have to dig up the links, but I just saw comparisons to what the site looked like when Bush first took office and when Clinton was in office... and WOW, has web design come a long way.

Clinton's looked like the kind of a website a high school kid made when first learning HTML.

Obama's site could definitely use more animated GIFs.
