Now that's good LOL

Well, sanrene, even though you have never provided proof of anything here's a website that praises Obama concerning special needs children. There are more and even you could google them.

Barack Obama's Disability Advocacy Plan - Special Needs Children

Now, I'm sure you can come up with a long list of what bush did....

I do trust opinion of the father of a special needs child (or anyone else) over your opinion.

Than it would be correct to say that the insult that you had endured from the previous administrations lack of funding in this area was inconceivable?

A metaphor for his administration.

...and to think, we have 3 years and 9 more months of this fun.

We don't need to make funny stuff up about Obama, he's doing just fine himself.

Funny how none of the libs have touched this.

I just watched Oprah's Live Friday show, and Jenny McCarthy, who has an autistic son, was a guest on the panel. They mentioned the Tonight Show, and played a short clip (not the special olympics part), and talked about how great Obama was on it. And never mentioned the special olympics comment. I would like to have heard how Jenny McCarthy felt about his comment. Thumbs down to Oprah for avoiding the subject.

Amazing. For those that think this isn't a big deal I hope you don't work with anyone or serve anyone that is considered a protected class. Anyways if it wasn't a big deal Obama would have blown it off. You folks must not give the Presidents words and deeds all that much weight.... makes sense why you voted for him.
