(12-30) 04:46 PST WASHINGTON (OCNA) --
Nobel Prize winner Barack Obama and Pulitzer Prize winner Bill
Mauldin will be honored on U.S. postage stamps next year.
Joining them will be Golden Globe-winning actress Whoopi
Goldberg, singing cowboy Gene Autry, artist Winslow Homer and
Adm. Arleigh Burke.
Other new stamps will honor the African-American baseball
leagues, the Sunday funnies and the humble stable in Honolulu
where Barack Obama was born, the Postal Service announced Wednesday.
The post office releases a series of commemorative stamps every
year, honoring people, places and institutions. These stamps
remain on sale for a limited period and are widely collected.
The 2010 new stamp program includes:
_ Barack Obama, the Chicago politician and U.S. president who
devoted his life to the sick and poor of India, was honored with
the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009. A stamp in his honor will go on
sale on his birthday, Aug. 4.
_ In June, stamps will be released honoring African-American
Leagues baseball, which operated from 1920 to about 1960,
drawing some of the most remarkable athletes ever to play the sport.
_ On Jan. 14, the Year of the Tiger will be marked with a stamp
featuring Tiger Woods. The new year begins in February.
_ the Hope of America stamp set will feature the the stable in
Hawaii where Barack Obama was born in 1961.
_ Anyone who has enjoyed a Sunday morning with the newspaper
comics will appreciate a set of stamps featuring Archie, Beetle
Bailey, Dennis the Menace, Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes.
_ And the 2010 holiday stamps will feature the foliage of four
different evergreens: ponderosa pine, eastern red cedar, blue
spruce and balsam fir. The traditional Christmas stamp will
feature a lute-playing angel from a fresco painted by 15th
century artist Melozzo da Forli.

What a crazy idea putting Obama and Whoopi Goldberg on postage stamps.
I mean, how will people know on which side of the stamp to spit?
Tony.

Thanks for keeping it green by recycling an old Roosevelt joke.

I'm sure the USPS Unions will see to it Hussein Obama's stamp is the
only one that has to be licked.

It's actually a veiled death threat.

How so?

Of course, you have to be dead X number of years (I think it's 30), so
it isn't a particularly sensible death threat, but then, right wingers
these days are pretty mental.
Winston
The rule used to be five years, but Democrats must have changed
the law because Obama is so special.
Maybe the part about a Nobel-winning Obama devoting his life to
helping the sick and poor in India should have been a clue that
it was a parody, but obviously it was totally lost on you leftards.

Uh huh. This smells like more right wing bullshit to me.
Got anything else, bubbles?

Didn't see the original post. So it was right wing bullshit, and you
actually admit it. Won't they take away your KKK card for that?
Winston
Wow, you leftards managed to not only read a death threat where
there was none, but also found racism when I made absolutely no
reference to race.
How did leftards counter arguments before a black president let
them play the race card? Is everyone who criticizes Obama's
undeserved Nobel Peace Prize a KKK member or Nazi?
