"I've been practising ... I bowled a 129. It was like the Special Olympics or something!" President Obama, March 2009.
"We're also placing a new focus on hiring Americans with disabilities across the federal government. (Applause.) Today, only 5 percent of the federal workforce is made up of Americans with disabilities -- far below the proportion of Americans with disabilities in the general population. In a few moments, I'll sign an executive order that will establish the federal government as a model employer of individuals with disabilities. (Applause.)" President Obama, July 26, 2010, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
