Quick thought re Sound of Drums

[heidi]

This episode has to take place between November of 2008 and January of 2009 because there's a President-Elect - he mentions it specifically at the start of his speech when he introduces himself to the chocolate-fans Toclofane.

Of course, this might've been a last minute change after the newscasters' bits were recorded as they both say "President" but still...

I haven't seen the Confidential yet - does anyone have a more pinpointed time-reference than this?

I caught that as well, but I thought it might have been a mistake - why would the president elect be in charge? Wouldn't the actual sitting president do those things? I thought that perhaps he meant to say "democratically elected," to let the aliens know what ind of authority he held.
