I do not care who thinks I am hip - I know I am no longer young - YES, I have been foolish.

I have never thought making light of anything to do with handicapped, "retarded", or anything of that nature had the slightest flavor of humor.

For many months, I listened to Obama talk about stigmas and how he felt about them. He convinced me that he shared my feelings - and after several months of soul searching I voted for him. Taking a couple of chances - because I had respect for him!

After a 29 second clip he showed his true thought process to me and I lost every bit of respect I had for him! ANYBODY that thinks ANYTHING regarding people with a physical or mental handicap is a subject matter for jokes is of a lower class and a complete different type of person than I was raised around or care to associate with.

Most certainly a lower class than I would ever cast my cherished vote for!

All the excuses in the world don't change it. It doesn't matter if he apologizes to me - what matters to me is that now I know that he is the kind of person that thinks a joke about Special Olympics is funny.

And I hope in 4 years, a lot of those Special Olympic Athletes help vote his butt out of the White House! I know one I'll be giving a ride to the polls!!!
