I went to “Holland” too. I have tears in my eyes from all these posts from parents of FReepers with disabilities. One of mine went through some of this himself (Asperger’s).
We have a President who doesn’t know the difference between something un-PC that might get said in a private conversation as a joke, and something the President of the United States would say on national TV.

Blessings to you and your family, dear Yelle.
Many FReepers have even traveled to another place - with our child being taken into the Everlasting Arms.
There should be no ‘joking’ about children (with disabilities or illness) - either in private or on national TV.
I can’t help thinking that if he doesn’t know enough not to make a statement like that on Leno, what’s he going to say to the Russians or Chinese when he DOESN’T know the customs?
