I watch Deafnewspaper.com on the news saying that Obama knows ASL. He knows about the Deaf people. He supports them for being Deaf/HOH. This is really something wonderful if Obama become the President of United States and he will support us if we could let him know how we feel about using ASL instead of oral way. 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?

AGB is a huge organization and could very well lobby for oralist ways easily. I agree that we Deaf people need to do something about the deaf education.

Here is the Url address: Deaf Newspaper, LLC. Hope you it is there now. If not, then it will show on the ASL TV news menu which is on the upper right side of the screen. ![]() |

Finally I got to see the part you (Bebonang) was talking about. It sounds like that Obama know some signs but not an expert at ASL. I would love to see him uses sign language.

Deafnewspaper.com is not reliable source of news. I didn't find anything there and neither can I find anything on Google so I think you're cooking this political statement. I do not care if ASL is the primary criteria for me to vote for US president. There are three major issues facing us today are economy, employment and war. Voting for a president who knows ASL without taking other things in consideration is bad.. bad idea. It's like black people voting for black president without looking at his qualifications (no offense intended but I heard few black people say that to me) is really stupid thing to do. |

Most regular newspapers and like Deaf newspaper are not always go for the true stories, they are just looking to making more money for the interesting stories that are not true. I have to agree with you one hundred percent. Boy, I am very disappointed that it is getting to me to fall for it. Oh, well, strange tales find bedfellows if that is the right phrase. Hehehehe ![]() |

I'm really not care if president know how to sign and will not vote because of like that, I'm just care about economy and war issue, that where president would know how to recover both of their issue than lousy president who know how to sign.

It just sounds so damn corny... after all that campaigning, each state,... I doubt that Obama knows anything on sign language or ASL, except maybe 2 that I know of... The "bird" and the "I love you" sign, Whoever cranked up this one, is definitely getting his/her chain pulled! ![]()

I think I did explain in several threads that I am not able to vote in German election because I am British citizen.
I only agree with Pacman to not vote president because of sign language but political experiences. I think I should say that I "would" vote... instead of I "do vote" |
