I heard a little while ago on a morning radio talk show that in September Obama made a comment along the lines of why should he care/worry about disabled people since they only make up about 12% of the population. I don’t have time to dig that up right now to see if he really said that. Hopefully someone will, or I’ll try later on today.
The American Association of People with Disabilities claims that there are 37.5 million disabled people who are eligible to vote, using a very broad definition that includes learning disabilities.
