On Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" Project: President Obama |
|
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geyAFbSDPVkI know there's plenty to criticize Obama about in regard to this issue, but I also think it's worth giving credit when it's due.

1. I will absolutely give him credit for this. |
|
Even Clinton didn't attempt to speak directly to GLBT youth in this manner. Linking himself with someone as "controversial" as Dan Savage is definitely politically risky.
Still, he needs to end DADT and DOMA. That would be a much more effective gesture than this video.

4. It's amazing how far it has spread in such a short time. |
|
Savage has done a fantastic job of marketing this, but the Internet has allowed it to spread beyond all expectations.

14. The guy just has to have everything both ways, doesn't he? |
|
I think that's been the most disappointing aspect so far.

15. The comments on youtube bite. |
|
I have noticed a sea change on the various lgbt websites as well. The anger is actually shocking. He would of been better off not posting this at this time.
