President Obama Records Anti-Gay Bullying Message
Oct 22, 2010 11:29 AM
President Obama has stepped up and recorded his own "It Gets Better" message to let the gay teen victims of bullying that "you are not alone."
“We’ve got to dispel this myth that bullying is just a normal right of passage, that it’s some inevitable part of growing up. It’s not,†he says in the very presidential looking video. He continues, “What I want to say is this: You are not alone. You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t do anything to deserve being bullied.â€
Obama has drawn a lot of criticism from his gay supporters as of late, specifically with his approach to repealing the Don't Ask, Don't Tell law. Even though Obama opposes the law, his administration has successfully reinstated the law after it was briefly struck down earlier this month.
But whatever your opinion of his policies, it's wonderful to see the president lending his hopeful message to this important topic.




President Barack Obama has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the annual award's committee said in a statement this morning. 
After taking in some of the sights with Dad (Obama was in France to celebrate the anniversary of D-Day), Malia and Sasha were treated to some shopping on the Left Bank, with their grandmother, godmother and a cousin in tow.
