Only NBC Notes Unveiling of New Reagan Postage Stamp
At the Reagan Museum and Library in Ventura County, California, former First Lady Nancy Reagan on Monday unveiled a new Ronald Reagan postage stamp which is to be released in February to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Reagan’s birth, “The Reagan Centennial.”
Of the broadcast network evening newscasts, only NBC, which has a deal to host a Republican presidential debate through MSNBC at the library, made note of the occasion. NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams briefly announced on his December 13 newscast:
Nancy Reagan on hand today at the unveiling of the stamp that will mark the centennial anniversary of her husband's birth. The Ronald Reagan stamp goes on sale February 10th, just days after what would have been the former President's 100th birthday.
For the Reagan Museum and Library’s Facebook photo of the event.
Here’s a larger jpg version of what NBC Nightly News showed, with Nancy Reagan and Jim Miller, now a Governor of the US Postal Service and an OMB Director during the Reagan administration.

Great likeness of a great man. Can't wait to get a couple of first day covers.
I'd prefer more common ones...

like taking the place of Hamilton on the $10.
(Side note: haven't reserched this enough, but allegedly Hamilton's estate some years back let go go to the Smithsonian the Burr-Hamilton dueling pistol set... and found them to be rigged with hair triggers. Could well end up that Hamilton's shot into the air was poor trigger discipline (echoes of my old Army DI "Keep yer ^%&^ing fingers out of that trigger guard till you are ready to shoot, dammit!))
But I cannot think of any better way to kick off a personnel change in the 21st century of American paper currency than to put on arguably the greatest president of the 20th. And if BHO ever pulls a Mugabe/Mao/Kim/Stalin and gets his phiz on any currency, vivo o mort, I will NOT use and if at all possible even TOUCH said defiled metal/paper. Ever.
Carve that in oak, chisel that in granite, cast that in steel.

Racist!

It's clearly a racist attack against Obama. All the laws should be shelved so we can have Obama stamps, currency, and his, oops, His image on Mt. Rushmore.

there will NEVER be a Zerobama stamp, just like there won't be a Jimmuh Carter one; people keep spitting on the wrong side.
LOL, I know I would.

To be fair, I heard no mention of this on either "Cavuto" or "America's Nightly Scoreboard" Monday night on Fox Business Network. Just sayin'.

Is there already a Jimmah Carter stamp?
It doesn't have his face on it, just long gas lines......
I look forward to purchasing and passing on to my daughter.
Does anyone remember the gas rationing stamps?

The ones that the "energy czar" printed at millions of dollars and they ended up being incinerated? I certainly do.
The "energy czar" was another incompetent nitwit who tried to blunder through the late 70s oil embargo with zero credentials outside of being "politically reliable". The true hallmark of the Cahtuh adminstration - incompetence to the power of inept to the power of ineffectual. Talk about hyperbolic, meaningless gestures and rhetoric....Ear Leader is the reincarnation of Jimmuh without the peanut allusions.

As much as admire President Reagan and it is always a treat that he is cellbrated, we need to move to eliminate the USPS in its entireity. This is just another government sink whole for hard earned tax dollars.
There is ample proof that companies like FedEx, UPS, etc. are doing the job of moving mail and packages at far greater effiecieny than the USPS. This is just another pork barrel union run entity that belongs in the private sector.
With the states and our federal governmnet bankrupt, it is both prudent and wise to get rid of this millstone around the American public's neck.

There is still a need for the USPS. The major population centers are served well but the USPS is valuable for delivery to the outlying areas. Perhaps we could privatize the USPS but the rural areas would suffer greatly.
Barack Obama Stamp

The USPS could issue a Barack Obama Stamp with his complete business resume on it. Obama sold Newspaper Subscriptions Door to Door for the New York Times - his ONLY business Experience. Liberals claim that makes Barack Obama uniquely qualified to be President and CEO of all Government Agencies.Will Madcow, Tingles, Olbie, or Schultzie...

I can't believe even MSNBC would try to do that. It will be some other somewhat less offensive liberal to do the dirty work. One would like to think if Olbermann walked through the door of the Reagan Library, he'd burst into flames. :)
