Shriver: Obama’s Special Olympics Quip Is ‘Teachable Moment’ - Washington Wire - WSJ: "Shriver went on to give Obama and the rest of the country, for that matter, a morning lesson: “I think it’s important to see that words hurt and words do matter.”

He went on to say that “This language needs to be a teachable moment, I think, for our country. I would hope every parent who is at home this morning, can turn to their children and say, ‘This is a chance for us to recognize that when we talk about Special Olympics, when we talk about people with special needs, let’s make sure we talk about it in an affirming way.’”"
