The US Postal Service is going to take another shot at developing stamps promoting Michelle Obama’s fitness campaign after White House officials vetoed the ones they came up with last year.
The stamps, costing $146,250 to print and worth more than $22 million if sold, were never distributed.
Now, officials at the money-losing agency are getting ready to try again.
“We are continuing to develop plans regarding a fitness-themed stamp series,” USPS spokesman Mark Saunders told The Post.

Oh, the Humanity!
How about a commemorative series of Mooch school lunch stamps? One could have a single baby carrot. Another a crisp apple slice.
Isn't it amazing that in 1800, with a tiny fraction of the present population, America could field a team like Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe--- tough minds, tough men -- and tody we get this sack-of-jelly ruling class that can't do anything but bait the races, ooze self-righteousness over trivialities, take your money, and order you to do the absurd?
Stamps? Do they still make those?
I can’t remember the last time I put a stamp on an envelope. I think it was a ‘forever’ stamp from 2 increases ago.
Most of my bills are email/online and nearly all of my payments are, as well. For some payments where a paper check is actually written, I let the bank mail the check.
For most payments, I get an immediate email/website confirmation. That is better than posting things through the mail. My postal service has a long history of losing mail containing bills and payments.
Gee, who could those "White House officials" be?
Hee, hee...
They could paste them across her rump....oh, wait....probably not enough of them were printed.
Man, modern Americans sure are pussified. This is ridiculous.
How about a series listing all of MOOOOOOOCH’s vacations. That could be a huge series of stamps!!
“Three of 15 stamps raised red flags: a kid doing a headstand, another taking a cannonball dive into a pool and a skateboarder without knee pads.”
I want one of Rollie Free doing 150mph on his Vincent wearing only a bathing suit.
I guess the one with lawn darts is right out.
The good thing about US mail is they get rid of the junk I put in the envelope. Let me explain.
My wife sent a card to her nephew with a 20 dollar bill. The nephew got the card, taped shut, and the 20 dollar was missing.
I sent my Dad a card with a souvenir key chain. Worth about 5 dollars. I put five stamps on it so it would cover the weight. Thankfully he got the card with the envelope taped shut and missing the key chain.
So the US post office seems to be getting really good at deciding what should be in our envelops.
Okay, I get that they want the skateboarder to be wearing knee pads. But I am so far behind the times I don’t have a clue as to what protective gear is deemed necessary for a headstand or a cannonball.
Went to the post office to obtain the Hot Rod stamps and there long sold out collectors rub hands.
Take $146,250. out of the Whitehouse budget next year.
Maybe they should put pictures of the new school menu foods on stamps out there. It would make people sick looking at them and they might lose weight.
Nine out of ten orphans can’t tell the difference.
They tried making a stamp of Michelle Obama, but people kept spitting on the wrong side.
You would need a lot of saliva to cover that large an area.
I’d bet someone, somewhere, has a few sheets of them, and they’ll be as valuable as the inverted airmail issue.
