LillianDulci pointed out something easily overlooked by people focussing only on that one gesture: [quote]It seems like he understood what was being signed to him, considering "thank you" wouldn`t have been appropriate in every situation.[/quote] So it`s about as impressive as him having learned Japanese well enough to understand it spoken to him at a normal pace. Or it`s a set piece to buy votes and he can act well enough to make it look like he`s at least somewhat familiar with the language.

Angilion Male, 40-49, Europe 9537 Posts	Sunday, March 25, 2012 10:36:15 AM It should be assumed that he should act naturally around them, they are people too, this shouldn't come across as amazing... Are you playing the victim card seriously or just trolling? I can`t tell. Just in case you`re serious, or anyone else plays their victim cards off of your post: One person used the word `natural` to refer to Obama`s use of sign language. NOT, and I`m directed this to all those desperately looking for a chance to play their victims cards to gain power, NOT his behaviour towards deaf people. In any case, ignoring any use of the word `natural` is a very good rule of thumb because it is almost always a false appeal to authority. In one sense, no complex language is natural - they are all artificial things, invented by people. In another, everything invented by people is natural because inventiveness is natural. `natural` almost always means `something I want to claim superhuman support for`.

How lame is North American society that we are totally effing impressed when someone in power just recognizes the existence of a group of people or person who is "different" in some way? It should be assumed that he should act naturally around them, they are people too, this shouldn`t come across as amazing...
