President Obama Films 'It Gets Better' Video To Combat Gay Bullying

Friday, October 22, 2010


When the Pentagon finishes its study on ending DADT in December & tells Congress that it should oppose ending DADT, what do you think Congress & Obama are going to do, no matter whose hands Congress is in?



Do you think that Congress is going to override the Pentagon's recommendation? Do you think Obama is going to ignore the Pentagon's recommendation and end DADT with the stroke of his pen (executive order)?



The largest part of the responsibility at this moment in US history goes to Obama. We each must do what we can, and with what a president can do (a lot), the buck stops at Obama.



There is no higher authority in the US than our government. Three co-equal branches, one of which (the executive branch) has authority and control over most of the US government. It's unconscionable that a president of the United States has allowed any department of government under his authority to practice discrimination. Every day that big0ted government policies like DADT continue is the government giving a nod and a wink to the most ig.no.rant among us, the bullies, & is saying that gays are lesser Americans, not deserving of the full rights and responsibilities of citizens.



When the president obfuscates and avoids doing what he can, what is within his power and ability to do, & end discrimination against one group of Americans, it's a cowardly dereliction of duty.



He's the Role-Model­-in-Chief, and it's scandalous.
