Vote Obama (on the back of each card in the deck)

Single playing card from the "Obama Presidential Playing Cards" deck. Image in the back of each card in the deck is of Senator Obama on a blue field. Image in the center of the face of each card is framed in a black outlined rectangle. Y: Is the Queen of Diamonds with an illustration of "Hillary Clinton, Senator from New York." She's standing in front of a wall clock that reads 3:00, with a red telephone on the desk next to her. "At 3:00 A.M. call Obama."

There is a complete set of playing card (52) along with two Jokers. During the primary campaign for the Democrat nomination for President, Hillary Clinton was one of several candidates running along with Barack Obama. One of her advertising campaigns suggested that if an emergency call should come into the White House on the "red phone" at 3:00 o'clock in the morning, that she would be better prepared to handle the situation than Barack Obama, because he didn't have the experience that she had.
