“I was taken aback by these words, since Henry had no idea
who Obama was, or what a president might be, and would be unable to fill out a
registration form let alone get to the polling place by himself. So I asked him
how he knew that and how he had registered and cast his vote. In halting,
impeded speech he told me that the people who take care of him at the home
filled out ‘the papers’ to register him to vote, told him how Obama cared for
him, even taught him the Obama chants, and then took him to the polling place
to vote. They did the same for all of the mentally disabled patients in their
care, approximately sixty in all.”
