Best place to get Obama 2012 magnetic bumper stickers?

I'm going to give some away as gifts to a few people who said they'll put them on their vehicles as long as they're magnetic.

I found these, but I don't like the design. I'd rather Obama be predominant rather than the year:

Get a roll of magnetic sheeting from custom-magnets.com and put the stickers on that. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #10

it was DC summer (August) weather, and it's only gotten hotter since then.

otherwise I was sorry to see it go.

and my car isn't a spring chicken either... but there's no
sign of paint damage where the bumpersticker used to
be. The car was often parked in the direct sun, and
had months to melt.

I only remember that much of the rubber was left behind
when I took it off, melted onto the back of the (black) car.
Now there's no sign of the rubber -- so it's probably
just weathered away.

It certainly didn't melt overnight -- you might want to
warn people if it's really hot they can move it around
so it doesn't get stuck on one spot. Especially if they
have a black or dark car, and live in a hot place.

I've never had any problems with bumper stickers damaging cars, but people are very nervous about them.

I actually bought the bumper sticker and plastered it on my car (my car is over 10 years old!) and it looks awesome

The sheeting cuts easily with ordinary scissors and it makes it easy to move stickers around between cars or for occasions without dealing with sticky goo. The only one I've had stolen from my van was the one of a condom that said "JUST WEAR IT!"
