I Peeled the Obama Bumper Sticker Off My Car Today

17. Just as a general comment,

I personally think it's a good idea to remove bumper stickers after they expire.

Up until about 2000, I never recall seeing old campaign bumper stickers. People seemed to take them off almost as soon as an election was over. For reasons I've never understood, that changed around the time of the 2000 election.

I never ever used to have bumper stickers on my car, but after the 2000 election I had various ones made up at makestickers.com. Can't recall all of them, but my personal favorite was: He wasn't elected on 9/11 either.

My current car only acquired its first small bumper sticker, one from the Very Large Array of radio telescopes here in New Mexico because it's an anonymous gray Honda Civic, and since all cars tend to look alike to me, and there are far too many small gray sedans of various makes and models, I needed something to identify it.

A couple of months ago some friends gave me a magnetic Obama 2012 bumper sticker, and then I recently, for the first time in years, ordered from makestickers.com.
