Re: : Why This ASD Mom Supports Him...

[Guest guest]

My computer isn't so hot with the YouTube, does he

mention adults? Or is it just children? I'm concerned

about not just the current adults but the children

growing into adults. Is there somewhere that I can

read a summary?

Personally I support Obama (and I have many reasons

which I am happy to go into as to why, including

having met him-and been taken seriously, which

surprised me given that I was soaking wet and look

half my age- and his policies on many issues, incl.

those you listed), but as only one person from each

party can get the nomination I like to be as informed

as possible. Voting I take very seriously.

Thanks for sharing,
