My 12 year old Kevin feels the same way about Kenneth. I don't mean to be biased; I love all my children as I know you do yours but our Kevin's sure do have a wonderful sensitivity to them, don't they?! I'm often humbled by Kevin's attitude towards Kenneth. We've been blessed with amazing sons.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441289297552831718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-17625100995227136102009-03-20T10:59:00.000-07:002009-03-20T10:59:00.000-07:00One more post.

To add insult to injury I called my Mom to talk to her about all of this and before I could even say anything she said,"Ican't work this cell phone, Heather (my sister) always tells me I'm so Retarded.

I hope that Obama takes this as an opportunity to teach his own children and show them how an adult deals with an error they've made...he needs to speak out publicly and apologize for his offensive remark. He rode the tidal wave of late night's version of making "fun" and lost his way in a very offensive manner.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984557067655141677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-49567751996534976962009-03-20T10:34:00.000-07:002009-03-20T10:34:00.000-07:00Great job Lisa!

He needs to stand up a be a man and admit he was wrong and sorry and that all Americans need to be aware of this and to change the way we think and talk about people with disabilities. Maybe if he does this it will bring so much more awareness during this month and DS awareness day tomorrow. I really hope he realizes he needs to do this.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803241505573440439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502307737528869885.post-58447604074333027452009-03-20T10:07:00.000-07:002009-03-20T10:07:00.000-07:00You go girl.

You would think that someone like Obama, who is part of a race who has fought for equality, justice, acceptance, understanding etc would understand but obviously he feels he is superiour. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for writing the letter.
