The first time I read this, I thought it was saying Catilin Cox, the "then-Illinois senator," grinned as she showed Obama pictures...and that Cox has Down syndrome. I was in disbelief that one of our senators had Down syndrome but then I reread it and quickly realized they were referring to Obama. I was skimming, but it is still worded tricky.
Here's the intro:
"When she met Barack Obama two years ago, Caitlin Cox proudly wore the two bronze medals she had won at the Special Olympics. The then-Illinois senator grinned as she showed him pictures of her signature bubble-gum-pink bowling ball and posed for photographs with her.
Cox, who has Down syndrome, excitedly recalls that meeting each time she sees Obama's photo on a magazine cover or hears him mentioned on TV."
