A big excited about Obama who knows ASL!!!

President Coolidge's wife was a teacher at Clarke School for the Deaf. I doubt she knew sign language and supported its use in education of the deaf. She and his husband were also on the Board of Clarke School and active in fundraising for the school. That she used to work at Kendall School on Gallaudet Campus and could sign well needs to be verified. Kendall School emphasized the oral method in the child's first years and few teachers who teach the first grades knew sign language.

McCain quit Board of Gallaudet cuz he supported JKF. he upset when Gally protest against JKF. He prefer oral, SEE, He doesn't support for Deaf culture plus ASL

McCain was on the Board of Gallaudet. Was Obama? McCain's wife teaches Special Ed, including the Deaf, does Obama's? Palin's child will use Sign to communicate... will Obama's? Ohh and McCain isn't friends with a terrorist, hiring the President of Fannie/Freddie to work for him and ADVISE him, and McCain doesn't degrade our troops by saying they rape women in the Middle East. So why would you vote for Obama?

Obama's wife was a note-taker for a mainstreamed Deaf student. Just an interesting FYI I got in my DNW newslater

I'm not sure to sign "Twat", but I think you know what I mean.

I didn't catch all of your fingerspelling due to low fpm. What deaf school did you say he visitied? I hope Obama will win.

I can't quite understand your sign language,sir, but I guess you're saying that Obama can do, am I right? If so, wow, it's amazing. He's amazing and your video is amazing :D
