3. And Obama is much better than any cup of coffee
There is no Starbucks where I live, so I couldn't have gotten coffee if I had wanted it.

7. Yes, but Starbucks got in trouble here.
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A federal law reared its head when some businesses tried to participate in the historic election. Starbucks got a lot of publicity for offering a free cup of coffee to anyone who voted, but the chain changed its policy Tuesday after it found out the promotion actually violates federal election laws.

12. Voted, but no Starbucks around here (shocking, I know)
The nearest one is about 20 minutes away--didn't want to waste the gas.
