Think About It

I was very disappointed that President Obama recently compared his bowling skills to those of a member of the Special Olympics. He immediately knew he screwed up and issued an apology directly to the Special Olympics and to the general public. In one way the comment was -- not so much a "good" thing -- but good in the sense that it has brought more awareness to the cause. But in another way it sort of lets people know that even the President uses derogatory comments about the physically and developmentally disabled.

Plain and simple, using the r-word is hurtful and wrong.
