A new Web promotion by the Republican National Committee, the “ObamaCard” — parodying the national debt built up by the stimulus bill — seems to be a bit confused about exactly when a presidential term ends:
Note that the ObamaCard is listed as being valid through January 2012 — as opposed to, say, January 2013, when the current term will actually end as laid out by the Constitution. The card could have also potentially gone for November 2012, as an allusion to when Republicans hope to unseat President Obama on Election Day 2012.
But no, they went for January 2012, the month when we can actually expect the Republican Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary.
