You can find all about it on snopes at this link - take some time and read it - you will not believe the lies in this email!:

http://www.snopes.com/politics/stamps/eidstamp.asp

.............

I wrote the following back to the person who sent this to me:

As you will see President Obama had nothing to do with this stamp. I get VERY upset with emails like this that are sent out to tear down our new President. A lot of BIG companies lobbyists and those that pray on people who don't know better send these out and they are full of half-truths and lies. It is a shame that such stuff goes around and it breeds hatred and fear in many people.

It is best to research these emails before sending but I know most people don't.

..............

As you will see in the snopes report whomever sent this out to begin with stated a very scary message about President Obama and I think they should be called on it from our Secret Service! Emails like these are nothing but threats! It is time to put a stop to them once and for all and if we have to make an example out of these menacing people then let's do it before this turns uglier then it is!

:grr:

3. It is so disgusting that emails like this go around and people actually believe them!
How stupid are they? They listen to Beck and Palin for God sake! I have lost hope in our country ever becoming sane again!

2. Hmmm.... let's see. It's an eight year old stamp, introduced in September 2001 --
Golly, who was President then? :shrug:

Racist, hate-filled assholes. :grr:

4. Exactly! And the title of the email is: New Stamp !!!!!! I THINK I'LL VOMIT!!!!!
With all the talk from the Fort Hood incident I think this is very scary stuff to be passing around! Some idiot that believes this is true might go off just from reading it!
:argh:

7. I remember using this stamp before I'd ever heard of Barack Obama.
We know that the far right will lie about anything in order to score conceivable points against the President. If they say it, you can be almost entirely certain that it's pure bullshit.
