KaraSwims:I hear a concession speech is around the corner for Clinton...course they've been saying that for awhile. I hadn't caught the Disaboom link on Obama's site-definitely cool!

From the Obama website:
First, provide Americans with disabilities with the educational opportunities they need to succeed. Second, end discrimination and promote equal opportunity. Third, increase the employment rate of workers with disabilities. And fourth, support independent, community-based living for Americans with disabilities.
Grand ideas... Utopian even... but a couple of questions. Who's paying for all this? How does one end discrimination? You can't force people how to think. Increase employment? How? You can't force employers to hire the disabled if they aren't as qualified/skilled as an able-bodied person.
It's all a moot point anyway. He's got no real world experience. Just remember, a few short years ago he was only a state senator. I just can't believe how he's manged to snow people into thinkng he can be President.

You guys are quick, that link to Disaboom from Obama's site went up yesterday morning.
Anyway, I thought I'd fill in a few details:
1st, an official press release will go out Monday morning, so stay tuned for that,
2nd, all the presidential candidates have been invited to participate on Disaboom and the other candidates may still respond.
3rd, if you happen to be an Obama fan check out his profile here, leave a comment there and add him as a friend. You can find his official profile on Disaboom at: http://www.disaboom.com/barackobama.

Experience isn't always the thing needed to make a great leader or president. Lincoln?
