"Mommy, I'm going to try harder." |

Edited on Tue Sep-08-09 12:17 PM by asdjrocky
From a down syndrome child to her parent after watching the President speak. From a call on Cspan.
Here it is from my memory-
"I watched the entire speech with my 9 year old daughter next to me. She has down syndrome. When the President was finished speaking my daughter looked up at me and said, 'Mommy, I'm going to try harder.'"
It was that simple. I even get choked up writing that.

6. I thought Palin said Obama was going to kill all the down syndrome children? |
|
Maybe instead she should listen to what this kid said and try harder.
