Locals unite against the R-word!!!

Obama is unstoppable.

So far his charisma has helped to nationalize the banks and maybe the real estate market as well.

He is the President who will be blamed for turning the American Auto Industry into nothing more than a collection of "welfare-mobiles"

And he openly mocked the Special Olympics on late night.

On at least one front, people from KC are ready to challenge the attitude casually put for by Obama:

Special Olympians across the country are taking the lead to get people to stop using the word "retard.''

The effort is called, "Spread the Word to End The Word,'' and began at a program at the 2009 Special Olympics World Games.

William Chrisman High School in Independence, Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park are among the schools were students will take part in the program.

It's a nice effort and represents even more Hope for Change . . . I'm just not sure the campaign will meet with success when most of the nation was willing to overlook the President's jab at people with special needs.

Also . . . If people really stopped using this word . . . That would erase roughly half of the comments on this blog.
