As I watched OUR President Of The United States, Donald J. Trump give a resounding State of the Union Address, I was deeply saddened. Regardless of whether you voted for President Trump or not…or you like him or not, he IS the President and deserves the respect that the position commands.
It was disheartening to watch certain Congress Men & Women openly show disrespect or disinterest. Some sneered, some looked bored while he spoke. One looked asleep! Is this what we want our children to see? Our children to learn? Our children and young impressionable young adults to emulate?
Through out the speech he spoke of positive achievements and plans for a bright future. He recognized various people of different races, ages and backgrounds for their contributions and aspirations.
But after such a heart felt message what did I see?  I witnessed the Speaker of the House ceremoniously rip up her copy of the speech and toss it aside.

Have we as a people forgotten respect? In schools they speak of bullying, but at the root of bullying is disrespect. Practice what you preach Congress and lead by example…..for once.
