SUBJECT: Postage Stamp In case you did not hear about this from the postal service, they recently created a stamp with a picture of president Obama on it. USPS agents began complained noticing that the new Obama stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This apparent “technical slip-up” enraged the president, who demanded a full investigation – and of course blamed G.W. Bush, the Tea Party, and GOP in general. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special presidential commission presented THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS: 1. The stamp is in perfect order. 2. There is nothing wrong with the glue. 3. People are just spitting on the wrong side

Obama To Aussie Students: Our Kids are Behindby Keith Koffler on November 17, 2011, 9:28 am There’s an unwritten rule in politics that politicians must not criticize the president when they are overseas. How about adding America’s school kids to the list of untouchables? Speaking at a high school in Australia, President Obama told a group of Aussie students that their counterparts in his country had “fallen behind” when it comes to math and science, saying he wants to reform the public school system. Obama also asserted that poor children don’t get “support they need when they’re very young’’ and are “already behind’’’ when they enter grammar school, according to a press pool report. Obama might have thought twice before casting America’s public school kids in a negative light to foreign students. Especially since he can exclude his own children from the system by paying for them to attend private school. One might feel uncomfortable saying many types of unpleasant things about our country to people overseas. But then, one would have to be an American exceptionalist.
