On a Postive Note

So B. Obama put his foot in his mouth.....big time! My first reaction was shock that something like that would even slip out of a president's mouth. I don't think it is right, but I'm not one to really harp on these things. I hope that with all the hurt that people are feeling that maybe something good can come out of this too.....like awareness. Awareness that our children are nothing like those stereotypes depicted by ignorant people who just really don't have a clue. Let's face it, unless you are lucky enough to be a part of one of these peoples' lives you really don't know what you are missing out on. Sometimes it takes something negative to bring out the positive and I am hoping that these positive stories help to change those stereotypes.

And speaking of Awareness....I really like this video of Governor Sara Palin speaking out for the Special Olympics.
