Obamas take Facebook stand against bullying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Wednesday took a public stand against bullying on Facebook, on the eve of a White House summit on an issue they said affected every young American.
"It is something that we care about. Not only as president and First Lady, but also as parents," First Lady Michelle Obama said in the video.
"It's tough enough being a kid today. Our children deserve the chance to learn and grow without constantly being picked on, made fun of, or worse."
The president, who will host the summit on Thursday which will be carried live online, said that while school bullying did not make headlines every day "it affects every single young person in our country."
Obama added that in a new wrinkle to the information age, bullying could follow kids from their schools, to their mobile phones to their computer screens.
"While technology has allowed us to connect as never before, and that's a good thing, it shouldn't affect how we treat each other."
"Putting a stop to bullying is a responsibility we all share," Obama said.
