Impeach this poster bitch for imcompetence, and Reid,, and Nobama.
Then things realy will get better. If you need to be reassured things will
when every savvy person knows they won't, then you're too stupid and/or
mind controlled to know you're being played. And not holding up your end. - 1 year ago

I don't like her doing one of these.
I didn't like Obama doing it, I REALLY didn't like Hillary Clinton doing one.(I haven't watched these, so I'm operating under the idea that they are still about bullying, particularly because of sexual orientation, if I'm wrong, disregard the rest of my comment)
When gay celebrities were doing them it was great, gay kids can look up to them and think, "they made it, I can too. They've been through this, I'll take their word for it." But how are they going to relate to a white woman from San Fransisco, the gayest city in america? What unique bullying would Hillary have gone through? Obama could relate because he's black... BUT he's from Hawaii, I don't assume they're prejudice/racist there.
I think these videos should be heart-to-heart type things that really give kids hope. If it just becomes another brand for people to help america's youth then it loses it's magic. It becomes NBC's "the more you know" and young bullied kids can disregard it with, "what do they know? they didn't live like me. they aren't from the type of place I am. they don't know what it's like to be in my situation."
I don't question their motives or intentions, but I don't think it's as special coming from just anyone whose powerful/successful now.
just my opinion.
