  • Who gives a fuck.

    If it were 50 years ago. You would have bin killed

    They have enough rights already

  • If he's so against bullying against gay people, then he should make same sex marriage legal in the US.

  • @SamMat7 He's trying to but Republicans in Congress won't let it happen.

  • Obama does not care about us gays, he is just using Machiavellian tactics

  • President Obama truly has my respect and that's from this video. it feels like it's truely from his heart; that he truly cares. i'm not gay, but it there's no reason we should put down others to the point of suicide just because they are different. that's horrible. i try to premote The Trevor Project at my school, and i ask of others to do the same! because it's true, no one deserves this treatment.

  • I had a wonderful time in High School, my only bully was a friend in love with me, haha, ironic, I guess the problem comes from before we get to HS, education of principles and reality without prejudice and equality in general, let alone religion and all that crap, its not about holding on, its about having an amazing youth, like mine... btw, my school was catholic... and some of my best friends, since kindergarden!

  • This would be a great speech and all if he wasnt reading words off a prompter, words that he didn't write.

  • RON PAUL

  • I may not agree with his politics, but I love what he's said in this video. :) Respect.

  • He has fake ears.

  • could this guy from above tells us when is going to be better for the Non-United-staters...? please man... stop murdering innocents...

    This Guy is the First Bully.... Fuck you...

  • @dragonburrito2014

    Me: "Adolf Hitler was only one man."

    You: "No.  Adolf Hitler was one man..."

    Conclusion: Adolf Hitler was one man.

    Easy to argue with an idiot.

  • I knew I liked Obama

  • shouldn't happen on this COUNTRY? SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ANYWHERE, MAN! This fucking sucks, and i'm not even gay!

  • "Yes we can... go to war without congressional approval. Yes we can... indefinitely detain american citizens, torture and execute them without trial. Yes we can kill innocent people in foreign countries while preaching about equality and civil rights at home."

  • I know everyone here is sensitive, but please people... understand when someone is praying upon the most vulnerable of emotions in order to gain support. Obama is NOT to be trusted

  • @dbrookfourtwenty That just earned you a thumbs up.

  • My parents are homophobic and I have been bullied for being bisexual, it got to the point I had to change schools and this video speaks strong, caring, loving words. There are days I don't know where to turn, I wish I would have heard something like this before I attempted suicide three years ago, just hearing this could have changed my actions. There are three words that could never be more true; It Gets Better.

  • I almost started to cry while watching this, that someone so I don't know the PRESIDENT would speak out for this! He is truly amazing! This should have more views this is smaller then it should be!!

  • this is why i like obama

  • I just CAN'T BELIEVE this video is online since October 2010 and it only got 390000 views so far. What are you Americans watching?

  • Guess what, people. This is America, if you want to tell me what I can do in my own country, ya'll can fuck off to some 3rd world shithole that tolerates that kind of shit.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes Obama!.

  • This coming from the asshole who says marriage should be between a man and a women, Hypocrite much?

  • @Frankieloveyou6161 That doesn't mean he can't say its wrong to bully people. Whether you support it or not, no one deserves to get bullied and wonder when it will stop. They should be able to go to school, or work, or just in public in general and not have to worry about rude comments or anything. 

  • @ColGerard09 thank you ill make sure not to vote mitt romney

  • @ColGerard09 Closeted much?

  • @ColGerard09 Closeted much?

  • Where are the It Gets Better videos from the GOP candidates? Oh, that's right....

  • What an amazing man

  • Guys I don't want America go to another war! I don't wish to see bazillion dollars created to destroy middle class and start another war on " terror " overseas. I don't wish to leave this monster called " Federal Reserve " going against the free market destroying wealth and businesses. Guys remember that 3rd world war will be a nuclear war! And bottom line is that Obama is a socialist. What do you expect from this leader? Wake Up. Ron Paul 2012! He is my president! Salute!

  • @maestro1110 Obama's our president. Get over it or move to a different country. The Cold War was said to be a nuclear/atomic war but no physical fighting went on. Also, I'm pretty sure you dont know what a socialist is, because Obama is definitaly not one.

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx Well I know who socialist is and I can tell it to you anytime. This time we are not talking a cold war if you haven't noticed. We are talking about Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq,- are you trying to tell me that there is a cold war there? No! Actual war is going there. Ron Paul is better candidate and there is not a one argument that you can give me, to overweight mine. You are intelligent person and know that.

  • @maestro1110 Okay, I had family stationed in the Middle East, so I'm fully aware that there is actual fighting going on there. What I mean about the Cold War is that countries have been threatening to use nuclear warfare on America for years, and it hasnt happened. That's all I was trying to get at. I beg you to explain to me how Ron Paul is the better candidate. Please, explain.

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx I will gladly. Ron Paul is for personal liberty and choice. Now let's be honest that NDAA is opposite. Ron Paul is against government stimulus, it doesn't mean that he is going to crash the economy. It just means that if nobody buys Ford or JP Morgan is doing speculation with YOUR money and they fall,- they must fall in order for better competitor to emerge. Remember that when government buys something,- it buys it for YOUR money. Do you wish to help Ford?

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx You see government uses your money that he taxes you, so it could help companies where you don't buy nothing. You act like this,- If Toyota is better you take it. If local bank is better you operate through it. Do you see how a great this system is for CEO-s and high paid managers? Government takes your money and basically gives it up to them and now they can pay their bonuses once again! And one effect more,- they become lazy. They have a crutch.

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx Ron Paul is against this friendly help that Obama does. Ron Paul explains that you can not reach your arm in every region in the world, sponsored by borrowed money from other countries. He is saying that a fear of terrorism is not a good enough reason to start a war where hundreds of thousands people die. Terrorism is just a pretence in order to frighten masses while the elite fights wars that they think are profitable. I can tell more if you wish! Thanks.

  • @maestro1110 Wow, you're getting really worked up about his. Since the first two comments are sort of irrelevant, I'll just address this one. As a world power, its expected that American will reach out to help countries in need. Obviously is costs money we dont have, but when it comes down to it, we are human beings on one planet. Its called being the bigger man, helping others, not being selfish, being a democracy, get the jist? Stop being so closed minded, friend.

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx lol. Can you bring me some real arguments? It's like a fairy tale you live in my friend. Yes! Obama and his bankster friends sit and think with a glass of Jack Daniels in their hand,- " Nobody stands up for Africa! We must help them out! " Then they go and kill thousands of people and borrow money from other countries to conquer those countries. Turn up the printing press and create inflation. Your mind is closed,- CNN, FOX made harm as I see. Wake up!

  • @maestro1110 Also! The way you address terrorism in your arguement makes it sound like youre blaming Obama for the war in the Middle East. Lets keep in mind that he wasnt in office when we went to war in the Middle East, Bush was. Just thought I would share that bit of knowledge with you. But I agree, terrorism is not a good enough reason to go to war, especially when civilians are the one that pay for it.

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx So what are we arguing about? I don't wish to blame nobody. The problem is that your economy is dead, you are trying to be a big brother to all the globe while you can't afford it and your own people are jobless. The problem is that top political contributors are Goldman Sachs and bankster brothers. The problem is that the FED created first depression and is going to create another one,- which I assume is soon to come. Your GDP=Outstanding Debt. Wake up!

  • @maestro1110 Uh you're not even telling me why Ron Paul is the better canidate, you're telling me about all of America's problems. Kind of counter-productive. You're kind of getting worked up over a Youtue arguement with some high school chick. That says something about your character.

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx I've posted three comments about why Ron Paul is a better candidate on your demand. You said that they are irrelevant. You've never listened or debated me with real facts that shows rather something about your character. I don't wish you to take my point, but at least learn to construct a dialogue,- you'll need it someday. There are many opinions, but the truth is one,- is based on facts, logic and probability. You didn't have any one in our discussion.

  • @maestro1110 Okay, I have a feeling that this going to go on for awhile, its already quite boring. You are using the most irrelevent arguements. The last bit of knowledge I have for you is that we survived the last Depression, and we're certainly capable of surviving another one. Obama was elected with a huge dept in this country, and though he hasnt made it smaller, he didnt start the debt. I'm pretty sure you're missing the entire point of this video, so I bid you farewell troll!

  • @xxdarkmusicloverxx The only one who's depressed here is you. Well you said it yourself that I am debating a high school chick. The only thing that I can recommend this chick is to get educated. I have a BA in economics and I know about your country more than you do, although I'm foreign. Keep watching FOX and CNN, sit back and enjoy the show, but don't tell me later that I didn't warn you. Bye bye chick! Don't forget to read on holidays...

  • This is exactly why he needs to be reelected. He is fundamentally a very respectable man.

  • @antha1993 For people who are gay, but not for the economy right?

  • @antha1993 Are you for Real? I mean... this guy is a murderer...The bulliest person around... He's the most powerful man On the World.... & has he done with that? well...

    I have nothing against with the LGBT population... but the world is bigger than them... Fuck You, you fucking terrorist... you wanna save lifes? stop invading countries! nobody ask you to do anything... we're better on our way...

  • He was the first African-American who bombed africa

  • How fucking awesome is it that our PRESIDENT will speak out on behalf of the LGBT population? After decades of bastards trying to drag us back in the closet...YES! Gobama.

  • @OrionsChild Wow, you just pissed on 98% of the united states population.

  • @95BrickSquad Just remember that he's spreading a good message, it's not about his laws or theories, he's just supporting a good cause. Nothing wrong with that.

  • I do not like Obama.

  • exactly stop blaming the president u ppl need to stop pointing fingers this is america everyone has a voice this is not a dictatorship were one guy runs the show so shut the fuck up n do ur part so u can stop pointing ur fuking fingers n say he's the bad guy

  • He's great.

  • He's great.

  • I am no fan of President Obama's, but you have to admit, none of these anti-gay, bigoted, hate-filled Republicans in Congress or running for President would EVER make a video like this. It is they who are the problem this project is working to solve. As for the topic of bullying, I have to disagree with the President a little bit there. It is most definitely an inevitable part of growing up, but it has also gotten wildly out of hand with the advent of social media. We can at least solve that.

  • @chibhatt24 I think the question in that case ought to be why we continue to allow bullying to be "an inevitable part of growing up." Why do we teach our kids that they should just grin and bear it until it's over, because people are just "going to do that," just going to torment them? Why don't we try teaching them that it is NOT ACCEPTABLE to torment others? Why don't we teach our kids mutual respect for other human beings? Why don't we promote acceptance?

  • @starcastically my opinion is based on the premise that human beings are flawed and will forever be flawed. We are built to innately favor a heirarchical social structure in some form or other, and with children, that structure is manifested in the form of bullying. I don't disagree with you on the solution, we should definitely teach our kids to have mutual respect. I'm just saying it's an unrealistic pipe dream to completely eliminate bullying. It will always be inevitable.

  • @starcastically I also want to restate that I agree that the problem has gotten out of hand, especially with the relatively recent development of online bullying. There are most definitely things we can do to quell the issue.

  • why doesn't he just make a Law against bullying!??!

  • @BoomGoesThatPotato

    Presidents don't propose bills (that may or may not become laws). You as a citizen have the power to ask your congresspeople to do so.

  • @BoomGoesThatPotato because he's not a dictator take civics and government the president dont make laws the fkn senate does n the only thing the president does is make sure they are being followed

  • @BoomGoesThatPotato Ah... that's a very wide range topic; there are many different kinds of bullying, the Government would also have to stop bullying too.

  • 671967 Yes i know what it means, i can Google thesaurus as well. And are you serious? Well lets start off with the infamous " The first thing i will do as President is bring all our troops back home and end the war!"

  • @ocean08 and he did :D

  • I do not blame just one man...Obama is just a face to represent all that is wrong with the way things are. I have my own opinions about who really runs the show but i wont go there. I will say that it can not be denied, hes as trust worthy as a rattle snake in a rats nest.

  • @ocean08 Amen.

  • Whether he wrote the speech or not, It's still nice of him to put His input on their opposed to someone like Rick Perry or anyone else on the republican party that would say "Let the gays die and burn in hell" Or "If they're so tired of bullying turn straight" -.-"

  • OK Obama, now try it with out your writers help

  • /watch?v=WibmcsEGLKo&feature=r­elated

  • Comment removed

  • I love how he whistles when he's speaking words that end with s :D

  • @BenEAReid XD

  • I LOVE YOU BARACK

  • Straight or not? We have to come together to stop bullying over America. We are losing lives to very petty acts.

  • @TheTywanWadeShow Then let's stop the government from bullying, they are the ones pulling the strings in this show.

  • Obama is right

  • I always get attacked for making this comment but the american people wake up blame congress and not Obama and know what the comstitution is before attacking Obama

  • and to all of you who says he is only one men. Havel, Mandela, Hitler .... they were only one who changed their countries.

  • @hotjama12 take your complaint to congress and read the constituion while you are at it

  • @hotjama12

    Leaders do change the world. Hitler changed the world and Mandela.

    Lets analize the changes Obama administration brought to the world. I see sopa, arrests, detentions, killings, wars, drugs protection, and I assume the distribution from Afghanistan ... I am sure I missed other good things that Obama brought, or proudly continued.

    I love "positive" changes in the world since Obama came to power.

  • @hotjama12

    Ah, the key to everything, simply relate it to Hitler or the Nazis...

    The Nazis didn't have our current constitution, or our current governmental setup. In fact, the Nazi government revolved around the fuhrer, he had control over almost everything, unlike our President. Hitler made it that way so that everything went the way he wanted it despite what others thought.

    We have a system of checks and balances that makes sure the President doesn't run everything. The Nazis did not.

  • Comment removed

  • @AmunRa1 THANK YOU finally someone with knowledge of our government ppl r fkn stupid thinking the president is in charge of everything HE IS NOT he is the VOICE

  • what is getting better? TSA? SOPA? A NEW WAR?

  • i am greatful for all that obama has had a part in changing the usa and i just wanna say that yes obama it does get better to some degree...but it would get EVEN better if we all had equal right...i hope that obama can help the LGBTQ community in getting the rights to marry, adopt and many other right that LGBTQ couple do not have at this moment

  • This man, keep him. Please America, don't replace him with any of the other fucktards you call candidates, just... Be content with this one, give him another shot, he's a beautiful human being and wants the right things.

  • Americans, take a look at your leader. Now take a look at your new candidates in the upcoming election... all scared of gay people. Obama's the man... don't take him for granted.

  • @156Denniz

    Ron Paul 2012!! :)

  • Now HERE is a real leader! What a wonderful human being.

    it's Faust - the devil

  • I guess I won't kill myself... Thanks

  • How was this account created on 2004?

  • But feelings of sadness remain long after childhood and there are less people who can actually help. Suicide is part of free will and choice, so why not? It is an option. A selfish one, but you are the one that lives your life, not other people... :)

  • Why not? Every breath that you take as a person, every word you speak and thought you think validates the fact that you exist, and that you matter as a human being. NO ONE can degrade your worth, no matter how much they may try (and believe me, personal experience shows me that it can be hard not to believe them). But the matter of fact is, you matter and the world needs you.

  • He is not just a shitty president. He is a flat out liar. But the person who WROTE that speach has a very good point. >.>

  • @ocean08 Why do Americans insist on blaming all their problems on their President? He's one guy. One guy with some sway in the government, but if you read the Constitution you'd remember that other people play a part in running our country. This is where we remember that a majority of Americans don't even know their own Constitution, and I'm willing to bet you're one of those people. Don't point fingers before you know what's up.

  • @dragonburrito2014 I think we blame him because we can. He is our president, we pay him in our tax dollars, so we feel we have the right to blame him for our country's problems, whether he is responsible for them or not. It's kind of a sweet deal. We pay him to take our criticism. And according to you, he's only one guy, so he can't be doing THAT much work to earn all the money and privileges he spends. Boom. Lawyered.

  • @dragonburrito2014

    Hitler was one men.

  • @dragonburrito2014 Hitler was "one guy."

  • @Mac00203 No. Adolf Hitler was one man who would never have done what he did if it weren't for the collaboration of millions of others. Instead of trying to shoot down arguments with overused bullshit rhetoric, maybe it's better to be pragmatic and realize that over-dramatizing the situation does nothing.

  • @dragonburrito2014 i dont blame him...i blame YOU!!!!..you personally...its all your fault..why did you do it?

  • @dragonburrito2014 We blame Obama because he is a bad president. We blame our presidents because there the one that make the choices yes hes only one man but that one man has started wars, killed milleons

  • @ocean08 LIAR? Really? Care to expound? (That means to explain)

  • Comment removed

  • I sure hope it gets better

  • I agree with most of what he saying but those arnt even his words.. I hate that guy cause hes a shitty President, not cause hes black...Ron Paul for President 2012!!!!!

  • @ocean08 yeah ron paul!

  • @ocean08 - This video is not about endorsing any President...it's about addressing LGBT bullying. Don't forget about the issue at hand, kind one :)

  • @ablack2005 No he is using this to gain favor with the Homosexual crowd and to boost his chances for reelection; anyone who is doing this only wants more power and favor.

  • @SaitoNetwork  Sounds like you're the one doing the pissing. Go read a book.

  • @SaitoNetwork Okay, that's your opinion and I definitely respect it. However, whether you believe in homosexuality or not, bullying PERIOD is wrong. For example, my best friend does not believe in homosexuality for religious reason, but is against LGBT bullying and suicide. So even if Obama is doing this to "gain favor" (which is believe he is not, but that's my opinion), I do 100% believe that he is against the act of bullying amongst gay youth.

  • @ablack2005 I agree that bullying is wrong period and shouldn't be used for any measure, as I am a bully victim myself. But to point out, Obama has done nothing that hasn't been in use of him for his public image- dare I mention the Nobel Peace Prize that he did not earn but accepted anyway. It is in Obama's favor, to have the support of the Homosexual community- he is in fact, using them for power, while they also are using him for their own purposes. A trade off, of sorts.

  • @ablack2005 And I can't say that he personally isn't against bullying itself, it's just the fact that it is "Gay Bullying" that he indicates specifically; what about all the other victims that have gone through Hell more than the victims indicated? The ones that are still alive and not gay? Obama just isn't what he tries to appear as, his actions speak differently than his promises and it is really sad- I am so disappointed and I had a bad feeling about him from the get-go.

  • @ablack2005 As to note I respect your stance and opinion on whatever you wish to indicate, but I also wanted to clarify more of my reasons as to why my position is what it is for Obama's true intentions indicated by his actions.

  • @SaitoNetwork It's all good! I'm not offended and thank you for replying for your stance on it because it's just a discussion. You are DEFINITELY correct about any forms of bullying being wrong. A child/teen should not be victimized of that...I totally agree. The reason why Obama along with other public figures have become involved with speaking out about LGBT bullying is because LGBT youth suicide rates is 4 times more than heterosexual youth and 62% of bullying amongst youth are LGBT.

  • @ablack2005 Like I said, whether we believe that he is doing it for more votes or not, we have to look at the subject at hand and not from a political standpoint. I think everyone bring awareness to ALL forms of bullying amongst youth. You and I were victims of bullying and it shouldn't go on. I'm 25 and it pains me to hear that suicides provoked by bullying has risen in only that short period of time from when I was in high school saddens me.

  • @ablack2005 But mostly, recorded events of gay suicides isn't all together just for bullying; there are reports that state clearly Homosexuals are more suicidal just in general.

  • @ablack2005 Or rather, just to specify, not on the terms of bullying- but on more diverse ideals. 47% of reported cases on gay suicide attempts have been on disagreements with a lover.

  • @ablack2005 I can't, as a bully victim, just believe that 62% of all bullying is of Gay Teens/Children- perhaps the more definite term is the 62% are all reported incidents.

  • @SaitoNetwork Okay, we can go back and forth about numbers, stats, etc all day, but the point is all bullying is wrong and I'm glad that Obama addressed the subject to raise awareness about gay bullying.

  • @ocean08 It's not about his words, at least he agrees with it. I'd rather have a shitty president that I agree with than Mitt Romney or someone who doesn't agree that all American citizens are equal.

  • Love is better than hate.

  • Obama is the only president in history to have hidden or destroyed his past history (at the cost of millions) he even surrendered his LAW license to avoid investigation and even his kindergarten records are sealed- an honest man would NOT do this- GOOGLE “LARRY SINCLAIR” to hear Obama’s old friend (he has pics to prove their friendship) talk about their criminal past- Obama has tried to setup & smear Larry as a liar but somehow I believe Larry because Obama has deliberately hidden his past-

  • i didnt even bother watching this cuz i knew is a bunch of crap!if he really cared gays lesbians bis trannys n pans ect would hhave more rights!i understand theres congress to but he doesnt even try!!!this is jst for publicity i hope u dnt win the election!

  • if everyone could just agree to be straight we wouldn't have this issue in the first place, goddammit

  • @shaniabrown1129 Read up on how the economy works. Read up on how the government works. It takes a lot of time and effort and more than one guy for the economy to get fixed.

  • @dimax997 It's instinctual, but should not be inevitable.

  • @daven58100 Stalker creep much. Leave the guy alone.

  • @nebulasandblackholes You're a fucking idiot. You think it's okay that Obama appoints an admitted pedophile to a position as "school safety czar"? Yeah, that's right. Kevin Jennings. Check him out. But I'm sure you already know about him. Sick fuck.

  • @daven58100 Um.. do you even know what I was talking about?

  • @nebulasandblackholes Um....do you even know what I was talking about?

  • @daven58100 I know you were being kinda stalkerish by looking at stevenking94's profile and talking about his age, home, and the status of his parents job. I said that was creepy and you respond by talking about obama and pedophiles... something completely irrelevant, as far as I can tell, to the original conversation. Maybe you thought I was talking about Obama? I wasn't. Enlighten me if I am mistaken.

  • @nebulasandblackholes Actually the username sounds familiar, but to be honest, I can't remember the circumstances. Can't find it anywhere. But it could be one where the person had made a previous threatening comment, and I responded. I would have to see the comment. You do realize that your comment is on an Obama video, don't you? Maybe you should watch the video.

  • @daven58100 I actually did watch and was aware the comment was on an Obama video. I suppose he may have threatened you, and deleted the comment. Apologies for the assumption.

  • @nebulasandblackholes Back at you:p
