As for the creation and appointment of a permanent assistant to the president for disability policy at the White House
McCain: "John McCain needs look no further than to his vice-president Sarah Palin. She will be the first VP to raise a special needs child. Her connection to the disabled and special needs families throughout this nation is personal and compelling. You will find no greater advocate."
Obama: "Barack Obama supports the idea of creating a permanent position of an Assistant to the President on Disability Policy in the White House."
