What Did You Expect?

I took Ms. Blatteau's challenge and searched for reactions by conservatives from President Obama's speech and luckily I found an article on Washington Post on different GOP reps, such as John Boehner, Chris Christie, and even Paul Ryan. For many of you that watched and witnessed the inauguration speech, it made us feel great that there's still more to overcome our obstacles, but it will take time to proceed on. Remember, how Obama described our "political trek", "Our Journey has not been complete." The person that had me off my seat was Chris Christie. I was very, somewhat, surprised. I thought of this as, Christie going for what he believes in but yet supporting Obama. Don't you see that as well? I was shocked to read a response with regards to equality, that I can't believe someone is opposing equality? Well, if I had a moment to ask a question to Chris, I would ask him, "If you were a minority from another country and just recently moved to America, but you're being treated differently than others, how would you feel?" People, whether you support or not support LGBT or minorities, you still have to treat them with respect. It's like you may be a Christian, but dislike Hinduism, but that does not mean you throw someone to the ground. Our equality tower has been broken, but what does it take now to rebuild it? Will we ever rebuild it? It's not up to Obama, it's up to our awareness. You may disagree to what I am saying, but the right thing must be accomplished.
