Where have all the Obama bumper stickers gone?

Today Oct 2nd, my wife and I went to Seattle to see my mom for her 95th birthday.

After a few miles as we drove to the ferry, I noticed something, actually the lack therof. There were no Obama stickers anywhere, not even on Toyota Priuses !

I became obsessed in finding how long this would last, so I looked at every single car we passed. I even looked in the rearview mirror when possible, and at parked cars on the roadside. I did not see a single one, even when we got to the ferry parking lot 20 miles from home!

We got off the ferry in Mukilteo. I was absolutely driven to find one by now. I HAD to see how long this phenomenon would last.

We drove East to I-5 past Boeing Everett. Still no bumper stickers of any kind. Finally! I saw one on a shiny pickup truck up ahead. It was for the US Marines. Shortly after that I saw a couple of Baby on Board signs in back windows. Going down I-5, still NOTHING. I checked every single car, and there was a lot of traffic. We exited near Greenlake after driving approximately 20 miles from the ferry. We drove past the Starbucks, bike shops near the lake, a VERY BLUE part of Seattle. It's similar to the Freemont District in its left leaning aura, but we saw NO bumper stickers of any kind !

After visiting with my mom, we started home in heavy traffic again. Not a bumper sticker in sight until 15 miles or so later. As we approached Everett, the only one we saw was a home made sign on the back of a motor home which said,

"We Will REMEMBER in November".

We saw not another sign of any kind as we drove through Everett for a side stop.

When we finally arrived at Mukilteo's ferry holding lot, I spied a very raggedy Obama bumper sticker on a beat up pickup truck.

After we exited the ferry and drove the 20 miles home, not a single bumper sticker could be found. I must have checked out the bumpers of a thousand cars.

This is very weird.

Theories, please !!

Steve

“they are still around here in the Minneapolis Metro area.”
No kidding! They are everywhere in Mpls. Every 3rd or 4th car has one. Every time I see one I have to check out the driver to see what an idiot looks like. :)

Well of course. A) Zero hasn’t gone far enough to suit the left, and B) the Rain Forest Leftists are facing a big tax increase, and don’t feel they should have to pay more, even though they are wealthy. Thanks Senormechanico. Around here the Zero bumperstickers I’ve seen over recent months always have a buddy — generally leftist larvae who love to cover their car’s asses with stupid sentiments and affiliations, otherwise one sticker that shows a union member. And I drive through what passes for the ghetto every single day.
