Words Matter

I don't usually discuss politics on this blog, but for some reason Mr. Obama's offhand comment about the Special Olympics really upsets me. I find it ironic that the first black President would make a comment that degrades a group of people that are not 100% accepted by society and have to fight for respect. Call me crazy, but I thought he would totally understand that the slightest word can set back progress towards acceptance. Silly me. I guess it is easy to make offhand remarks about people, when they are not your people. Sad.
