[Anyone] Groung Hog Day:

[J Mac]

Alas, it's false. 
State of Union falls on 28 January, while Groundhog Day falls on 02 February.  
And why would they compare presidents to groundhogs?
What did groundhogs do to deserve such calumny?
They're just marmots, woodchucks minding their own business.  

Cheers,

John McL.
