I just hope that AGBell don't interfere with him on getting him to use oral instead of ASL. I hope the news is true. I have not seen anything on the newspaper, not Deafnewspaper, not even online MSN news. Did you see somewhere on the news about Obama signing the ASL?  |
Obama has been to Oregon a few times now. My friend got t sit behind him this past weekend. He always has at least a few interpreters there. Before he went into politics, he spent his time helping the inner city kids and the poverty stricken areas to re-educate people that were dislocated due to jobs being shipped over seas. He helped with establishing homeless facilities and training and lots of stuff.. I does not surprise me to think he knows ASL. He is a genius ya know,, kind of a nice change to think of being represented world wide by a smart man...
