Gov. Sarah Palin responded to remarks made last night by President

³I was shocked to learn of the comment made by President Obama about
Special Olympics,² Governor Palin said. ³This was a degrading remark
about our world¹s most precious and unique people, coming from the
most powerful position in the world.

³These athletes overcome more challenges, discrimination and adversity
than most of us ever will. By the way, these athletes can outperform
many of us and we should be proud of them. I hope President Obama¹s
comments do not reflect how he truly feels about the special needs
community.²

Well, after the way his allies went after her, he really couldn't
count on a full-throated defense of a boneheaded comment. Obama used
the whole "it's just a joke" excuse with his "lipstick on a pig"
comment, too.

Be nice to see if she's revised her comments on family values.

I find it interesting that she opted to accept stim money for construction,
but refused it for "special needs children", even after stating in her
campaign she would "be a friend to special needs children".

Thanks for the info, BA. If there's one person who should be sympathetic
to special needs children it should be her.

We all feel for you and your special needs John.
