President Barack Obama recorded this video as part of the "It Gets Better Project". It was released on the White House's You Tube channel on Thursday. As I watched this, I wondered to myself, would George W. Bush do this? Would any previous President?
Obama takes a lot of heat on both sides of the aisle for being too liberal or not being liberal enough. Yet, it's these moments and messages that make me very proud that I voted for him. Yes, I'm still proud of my vote, and I credit President Obama for this awesome message to young people in the wake of the recent suicides of LGBT youths across the country.
He's right. It does get better!

I applaud the sentiment and symbolism behind the video, but I have to say I agree 100% with what Dan Savage said on CNN. The president also has the power to *make it better* and he's not. He's just not.
