Mr. President

Presidents Day. A time of reflection, of remembering the valiant leaders of the United States. From the humble beginnings of George Washington to the political misstep of Richard Nixon, Presidents are being remembered, idolized and honored. 

Interestingly enough, Groupon managed to commemorate a 'President' that never actually was. So who was the lucky fellow that Groupon inducted into the oval office? The one, the only, Alexander Hamilton. 

Contrary to Groupon belief, Alexander Hamilton, although played a vital role in the establishment of our nation, never quit made it to the White House. 

So how could a major chain like Groupon have such a historical blunder? Perhaps some lowly intern cracked under the pressure, or maybe the writer never took a history class, or maybe, just maybe, it was a purposeful mistake. 

Swearing in Alexander Hamilton, Groupon has gained an exponential amount of free publicity, and has set themselves apart from other corporations on this fine Presidents Day. If this is a publicity stunt, it would be best for Groupon to maintain their cheeky attitude on Twitter and taking advantage of social media platforms to connect with their audience and promote their deals.
