Obomba, I don't care who you are. I care what you do.

Your soul is your own business.

[eastariel]

FAIR LAW OF EQUALITY

1. Look at people objectively, without prejudice, to see who they really are.

2. Do not put any person on a pedestal higher than you can comfortably hand a cool drink to them.

Remember when Jesus Christ washed the feet of his disciples? Any idea what He was trying to teach us?

Equality.

The best version of this song that I found was on mp3ify.com and you can download the mp3 or import it into itunes.

This is the same Administration that has "plans" for all of the disabled....like a loooong vacation.

[aldenbuzz]

Lovely sentiment, but no COLA under Obama ?

RIP my dear friend Robert Smith.

Being a student of theatre, I still hope to see more inclusion in the media for actors with physical diversity....

[PostToastie]

31:05 did that idjit say "intergal'?? He's like a fricken fourth grader, he can't even think of what to say, they put it up on a board for him to read and he can't even do that very well.

[Bbic58]

@PostToastie Yup, that's what he said. How about the prounounciation of Cer-E-bral Palsy. It's prounanced Cer-I-bral palsy. Yes, they are soooo concerned about us.

[DeaneRenata]

Can you please tell me how many Americans live with a mental disability?

[kcbowers9]

@DeaneRenata  54 million

Hey All,

Happy 20th Anniversary of the ADA! Please check out the video I've put together to mark this amazing occasion. You can find it on youtube under the name "The Americans with Disabilities Act Signing Ceremony - July 26, 1990." It features some very important disability rights activists & politicians who were essential in the passage of the bill, as well as archival footage from that incredible day.

I hope you enjoy & happy anniversary!

[VBugz38]

George H. Bush's son Neil was diagnosed with dyslexia and I have heard he has admited to having dyslexia himself. George W. Bush has stated he does not have it. However he did sign the ADA amendment. While I am a dem and voted for Obama and know that Tom Harkin and other dems pushed this legislation a lot. I have to say the Bush's did something right they both signed the ADA. ADA and it's amendment is one of the largest bipartism legislation, so on this forum shouldn't we show that same unity?

[GratedTopping]

Right now, I'm fighting landlords attempting to remove me merely because they don't like my seizure disorder. Discrimination. I've filed a civil rights complaint and it's sad that I even have to do such a thing.

[ecurra19]

Yes, it is sweeping when consumers find a lawyer who will take the case but at the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is difficult to find lawyers who can take cases to the Federal Court.

[mustangersalie]

Hussein will "take care" of the disabled all right - by "elimination" thru obama care

[damizu]

Praise the lord to the United States of American to keep ADA alive for 20 years. Thank you so much for add the caption. God Bless America!!!

[memama2]

eassie ....and barry also! = (behind closed doors) worships the fraud god killer cult MCsighHah=& keeps hiding his islam luvin lost mind and soul. Cheering on the cults message of constant killing until their fake maddie Imam the 12th (or unlucky 13) maniac comes to off the rest of humanity. That's their goal. Thats the creepy terrorist killin machine we are dealing with now. Killing and killing to show themselves worthy - attemping to POPUP their fake mess-high-hahaha! That's barrys schoolin

[memama2]

eastariel ...just another new age fraud god demonic channeler luver; (you) that now insists that we all fall in ~lock-step~ behind "dear leader"! And become a godless clueless cult member like you! ....lookin fo somethin fo free! And Blaspheming GOD and the message left to mankind in His Holy Scripture? Is what Soeotoro and his eco posse now specialize in trying to destroy. They worship the earth. ( constantly insisting GOD did not create it) And want Christians & Jews & the unborn = gone.

[mariejoseeable]

Hi - i only take 2 MINUTS to answer to you because it's evident we don't speak of the same thing : you talk politics - i speak about a Man (first), honestly trying to help His Country (HE did not put it in the state it now is ..), His Fellow Citizens, and makes the whole of His heart, intelligence, and time in that.

If i, am a liar, you, are biaised. Calm down, look at THE FACTS, and think by yourself.

And happy end of day !

[NookulerFreedom]

eastariel:

Do you think you're clever?

You're not.

And I am becoming more fucking irritated by the second.

Keep talking asshole, you have no fucking clue what you're dealing with.

[esiosan]

@NookulerFreedom yeah I just looked up the "slumlord" accusation... it seems pretty nasty, however it seems to only be from neo-conservative blogs... before making up my mind, let me do some more research from independent sources, as you know, there's a lot of fuss on the internet that is not always true. I'll research with an open mind :)

[esiosan]

@NookulerFreedom I just spent about 20 minutes looking her up... I don't see anything except Glenn Beck's opinions based on some edited video of her discussing the tea-party's anti-govt stances. Can you point me out to an independent, non-biased source that has brought forth a concern we all should know about? So far she looks clean, thanks for your reply :)

[memama2]

@eastariel ....GOD (actual Living Triune Holy One Unique Creator GOD!) ...not the fraud god self christs of Obama's crackpot coven. Told His Christian Followers TO JUDGE MANY THINGS! ...Holy Scripture "essie" forgot to mention! = ......Jesus told us to JUDGE = "False Teachers" = Obama! "False Prophets" = Obama! False Doctrines of demons" = Obama ! False christs = Obama AGAIN! ....God did NOT think or teach evil sin filled, GOD rejecting mankind was all ="equal". CHOOSE TRUTH was His message

[eastariel]

Come on, Eeyore, do you honestly believe I would stand up for everyone but you? I stood up for Captain George Bush, and I didn't even vote for him. Why? For the children -- my children, Captain George's children, everyone's children.

Eeyore, I intend to see you earn your Nobel Peace Prize. Forget the trophy on your mantle; keep your eyes on the prize -- the real prize. World peace.

[eastariel]

Pardon me, Ozama, but do you have an ego? If you don't, wow ... that's another achievement for your trophy case. Anyway, too much ego on your part will make your job excruciating. All those pricks ... ouch. So please don't forget to laugh at yourself. Personally, I don't mind people making fun of me ... as long as it's funny. Ego takes all the fun out of being imperfect, Mr. Sparkle. Perfection can be a disability in itself.

[NookulerFreedom]

Valarie Jarret = SLUM LORD

Look it up people.

[Paulwhoisvegan]

I wish that was there! I have double vision, and I have to use a gigantic computer with giant letters etc!

[geofiles]

@MrPolysyllabic NONE of the Obama worshippers state the fact that Obama (and the Democrats in Congress & Senate) praised & backed the sub-prime lenders that have played a large role in destroying our economy? None of them mention that Bush tried, since 2001, to put restrictions on the sub-prime lenders (17 times he tried in 2008 alone), but the Dems in Congress & Senate never listened.

Then they praise Obama & blame the Republicans.

The leftists are a bunch of idiots.

[MrPolysyllabic]

@geofiles Oh yes, lets rewrite history. It was GWB that promoted the lending, endorsing companies like Ditech, encouraging people to use their homes as ATMs in order to stimulate the economy. Your views are nothing less than neo-tard propaganda. Wake up and realize that Dems and Pubs are one in the same, also learn what a Leftist is before you make comparisons. Dems and Pubs aren't to blame, its the morons that keep voting for them.

[Lovingarms100]

@geofiles I loce daddy Bush for this Act. OBAMA HATE the person with disabilites. perry 2012 he love help people with Disabilities.

38:02 is Bull sugar. They hired for six Months and fired. No reason given. If he loved his Father-in-law, he should a be Disabled lawyer. Obama has pentebntion but he not where sound be.

[Lovingarms100]

@Lovingarms100 I am not a racist, I'm black, and heartbrocking over obama's shortcomings. I break my heart that so many people hate him.

[geofiles]

Obama and his fellow socialist liberals in Washington have made enormous changes in the level of government spending and power. They have repealed welfare reform, set us on course to socialized health care, put an energy policy in place that will drastically increase our gas and electricity costs and cripple industry, and are waging war on productive people and businesses. A recent Newsweek cover declared, "We are all socialists now."

[karen4215]

Thanks to all who fought for the ADA. The good work goes on. Thanks, Mr. President for your gracious and inspiring words. I especially liked Marley Matlin's contribution. As someone disabled, though not severe as some, the celebration is inspriring. I have a hope there will become a better process to obtain disability benefits under the Social Security Adm. and in my opinion, if overhauled, it may be more cost effective for SSA in the long run, while still maintaining protection against fraud.

[lildwayne21]

How can some of you conservative fucks come on here and honestly ask what has Obama accomplished or what has he done since coming into office? Shit, he's accomplished more shit than Bush has was able to accomplish in his first year. Health care reform, wall street reform, Improper payments Elimination and recovery fact, and stimulus bills. Obama is building a legacy for himself ya'll. Ya'll conservative need to recognize that every act and every bill Obama signs goes a long way in helping him

[memama2]

geofiles ...so I saw a little boy at anti-obama rally holding a sign saying "I owe over $150,000 dollars? NOW? AND I'M ONLY 12!" ...lol! Now the OBOTS "thumbed down" your post stating = DIM Reps in WA will borrow $1.6 TRILLION ...& are expected to borrow $8.5 TRILLION MORE! Masses of obamamonies that the children of this nation will never ever be able to PAY BACK! What do you think these disabled persons can expect? NO MONIES FOR THEIR NEEDED CARE! Their checks? will be the 1st to GO *boink*

[AnthonyNews]

congrats preident obama on the great work you are doin..and congrats been in madden football 11

[lildwayne21]

expand his reputation and expand his legacy. and once he gets a grip on this economy and starts creating more jobs for hard-working Americans, his poll numbers are going to start to go up. 

[geofiles]

@AnthonyNews For a progressive it is better to make everyone live in safety as a slave than to live in danger with Liberty. Progressives feel they are entitled to all of the best that life has to offer whether or not they contribute to their own success. Progressives like Obama are the cancer, the plague that could eventually destroy any remote concept of Freedom. Not to mention, the world economy and America as we know it.

[geofiles]

@AnthonyNews America was blessed with abundant natural resources and individual freedom, the backbone of free enterprise. The combination rendered American productivity the envy of the world. Based on the strength of our industry and productivity, the American Treasury became the world’s largest.

Why would America swap a history of successful capitalism for a murky future of socialism? The Answer is politics, and most of all. . . OBAMA.

[InterntzTrollerinz]

@geofiles Funny and every history book I read said the U.S. became the world super power after Europe was decimated in ww1+2.

Prior to ww2 the U.S. military was pitiful.

Obama is actually and alien who wants to eat your brains. I can accuse people of being things that they are not and without providing facts it is rather easy.

[AnthonyNews]

great work valerie******

[MikeFromCA]

George H. Bush started the first Americans with Disabilities Act. It was for his son George who had a mental disability.

[nfally2007]

@MikeFromCA hahahahah...good one

[desayana89]

@MikeFromCA that is tooo funny- i have to agree :)

[Onbison09]

@MikeFromCA No need for that I'm not a Bush fan either.

[allagringaus]

@MikeFromCA I wish I had the power to delete your stupid comments that have nothing to do with what happened

[MikeFromCA]

@allagringaus I'm sorry Sarah

[enuvune]

please PLEASE arrest these conspiracy nuts. it's damn near treason.

[geofiles]

@enuvune Seems that when someone who doesn't agree with the Obama supporters makes a true statement of very true facts it's not allowed. But Obama supporters can spout false information as truth and that's fine.

0 - ONE

B - BIG

A - ASS

M - MISTAKE

A – AMERICA

[geofiles]

@enuvune Don't worry about arrest, Obama has it covered. American citizens are targeted for killings far away from any battlefield, based on the accusations of Obama that they’re involved in Terrorism.

No due process is accorded. No charges or trials are necessary. No evidence is offered, nor any opportunity for the accused to deny these accusations. Instead, in Obama’s America, the way to guilt is determined by a death penalty.

For more information, please look it up online.

[enuvune]

i certainly hope so. that way i won't have to see idiots like you posting all this bullshit everywhere anymore. you're scum. anti-american terrorist scum.

[InterntzTrollerinz]

@enuvune Ya heil Hitler we must destroy the jew.

[geofiles]

@enuvune You are the anti-american.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt

[enuvune]

roosevelt was a communist.

[knoxunflower1]

@enuvune Not even close. Do some research and find out what a real communist is. There's a difference in forcefully distributing wealth so that no one can be wealthy, and stopping the homeless population from literally starving to death. More than enough of my relatives from the depression era, were they still alive, would tell you how clueless you are. They would tell you how they couldn't rebuild their farm after a tornado destroyed it, and how those WPA jobs fed their families.

Ignorance...

[enuvune]

why should it be a burden to the wealthy to take care of street filth? it's not their fault those bums slacked off in school while the successful people were studying their ass off to make something of their lives..

[knoxunflower1]

@enuvune VAST ignorance. Read the legislation (from each one), and discover that this hasn't the first fucking thing to do with poking into your petty little bank account.

You DO leave your house every now and then, right? THERE'S your street filth.

As for burdens, how 'bout those tax cuts for the wealthy that they don't need, shouldn't ask for, and are constantly tossed on the backs of tax payers? Oh wait, nevermind. You're too wealthy to think for yourself, right?

Trash comes in all forms.

[knoxunflower1]

@enuvune One more thing (and this is no surprise, based on your hasty response)...There is no way to count how many of these people you call 'Steet filth' risked their lives in one war, or another, so you can sit here and be the stupid god damn douchebag that you are. But again, you're apparently too wealthy to think for yourself. And again, trash comes in all forms (income brackets, neighborhoods, etc).

[geofiles]

@enuvune Wow, you idiots dont have a clue.. I guess you will wake up when milk is $10 a gallon, gas is $15 a gallon, and their electric bill is $500 a month, and you are either sterile, or only allowed to have 1 child, and the dollar is useless.

Barry Soetoro is not eligable to be where he is! Barry Soetoro must be removed!

[devay4]

@geofiles who Barry Soetoro?

[lildwayne21]

OMG. Youtube needs a FF option. Damn.......

[InterntzTrollerinz]

Youtube is funny i like it when the buffering stops with her mouth open makes me horny.

[mariejoseeable]

Once again, President Obama proves He is the President of and for ALL Americans, and puts his heart in this battle too. It is a fact. All the rest are political manoeuvers. God Bless, and Help Him.

[geofiles]

@mariejoseeable Your a liar, Obama did not prove he is the President of All Americans. Thanks to President Barack Obama more than 2,300 candidates are running for 471 House and Senate seats in the midterms. It’s the highest number of candidates in at least 35 years, according to data provided by the Federal Election Commission. The field is heavily Republican, with almost twice as many GOP candidates as Democrats, and several hundred independent and third-party challengers.

[LeonSORTX]

Being in a wheelchair just recently in 2006 I have never paid so much attention to this act as I am now ..... Thank you Mr President for making sure our needs are met!!

[codeman38]

...Where are the captions?

[devay4]

@codeman38

I believe the Captions will come soon...:)

[lildwayne21]

Excellent speech. I love the way he closed this speech the story about Hopkins and the Declaration of Independence.

[DorkTheNerdInvader1]

Haven't seen the video in its entirety yet, but I hope people with mental illnesses are represented here.

[devay4]

@NookulerFreedom

Fuck yourself...

[lildwayne21]

God Bless the disabled. May you get the care and treatment you so richly and justly deserve.

[memama2]

lilOBOT ...under obama crap care? These people can EXPECT no further Caregivers paid for! No surgeries for non-productive non-worker= beezzs ~~~ cause Obuzzma only delivers dollars to SEIU & Teacher Unions and eco nazi green gestapo bidnesses. Disabled? GOTS TA GO! ....they drag down obama's Mack-daddee plunderer leg! THEY GOTS NO CA$H! ...... & their needs? CO$T TOO MUCH! Michelle Obama needs their monies for her "food deserts" ghetto grocey stores. So disabled? GET READY FOR CRAP CARE CUTS!

[parafleet]

@lildwayne21 God has nothing to do with it. If you're so concerned about the disabled, give one a burger today.

[Bbic58]

@lildwayne21

lil (d) wayne, one such as yourself must clearly state what's on your mind. We can't read it, or even acknowledge that you have one.

[devay4]

@ENDtheFED2012

Ron Paul is evil!!!!!

[ENDtheFED2012]

@devay4 How is Ron Paul evil? Obama is the EVIL-ONE ! So put me on, how is he evil?

[devay4]

@ENDtheFED2012

yes... Ron is really evil...you blind!!!!! of course you can't see anything because of His son hates ADA...

I'm disabile..

[inappropriategiggle]

*applause*

[Kansiov]

@ENDtheFED2012 You mean Pork Paul? The guy who funnels nearly $70 million into his district? I see...

[ENDtheFED2012]

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. - THOMAS JEFFERSON -

[geofiles]

@ENDtheFED2012 Talking about freedom: Giving the Democrats and their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today. Congressional records show that all previous legislation (since 1964) had strong bi-partisan support, even though some Democrats debated and voted against these laws.

[devay4]

@geofiles

Go Away you KKK Neo-Nazi

[NookulerFreedom]

I love Valarie Jarret the FUCKING SLUM LORD.

She condemns peoples to poverty and then pretends she is your savior.

How can you not love that folks.

Give me a break America, WAKE UP TO THESE FUCKING CON ARTISTS.

Jeez.

[NookulerFreedom]

AsparagusJam :

You have no fucking clue who you are dealing with, SHILL.

I suggest you go away.

[MrTabby5000]

@NookulerFreedom

All hail Lord obama.We love you obama.

[roguegirl29]

@NookulerFreedom Is that supposed to be a threat?

[AsparagusJam]

Thank you Mr President, proud of you!

[rachel7036]
