This one surpasses even the Decorah Town Hall. (edited to add: Just STOP it, stupid autocorrect: it's DECORAH, not Deborah! Sigh)
I thought that the entire ~30-35 minutes was terrific. But be sure to check out his response to a deaf questioner at about 25 minutes into the video: he stresses how much the disabled have to offer to their communities, and how America cheats himself by not supporting the disabled so that they can offer their talents to their communities. And, best of all, he reminded the entire audience that we will all age into disability, and that, if we don't have disabilities now, we should consider ourselves only temporarily without disability.
Oh, and his closing statement. Just wow.
