The way it is with the Obama Administration ...
Quick … the healthcare legislation must be amended to become politically correct.
The New York Post is reporting …
“The proposed health-insurance bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as ‘retarded’ -- a term advocates, relatives and physicians find outdated and offensive.”
Oh No! Stop the world – locate and destroy all previous bill copies and reports concerning this legislation until the word “retarded” is replaced with “challenged.”
“The bill refers to: ‘A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . .’”
“The phrase could cause more problems with groups for the developmentally disabled, who were angered when President Obama referred to his poor bowling skills on ‘The Tonight Show’ as ‘like the Special Olympics.’ Obama later apologized.”
Besides the fact that the far-left democrat liberal do-gooders have bastardized (there I go again using another slur) the world with their political correctness, perhaps the word should be used in its proper context.
Obama’s policies have retarded the economic growth and revitalization of the United States!
