George W. Bush vs. Ellen DeGeneres
Can you imagine two people with completely different political views but sitting next to each other at a football game? Twitter blew up when they saw George W. Bush and Ellen Degeneres sitting beside each other and laughing. People were wondering as to why a gay Hollywood Liberal was not only sitting next to a conservative Republican president, but actually enjoying themselves and having a good time.
It caused so much controversy that Ellen made an announcement about the whole issue on her television show the Ellen DeGeneres Show. She made a very good point when she making her speech and she said, "...just because I don't agree with someone on everything doesn't mean that I'm not going to be friends with them. When I say 'Be kind to one another,' I don't mean only the people that think the same way you do. I mean be kind to everyone. Doesn't matter."
Since she has made this announcement, it has gone viral all over different social media platforms. In todays world, especially in the U.S., people are so caught up in the politics and whose on whose side and what party they affiliate with; they don't stop and realize that in the end it doesn't matter. We are going to have presidents in the future that some people won't agree with but others will and vice versa. We are all here to make a difference in this world and people will want to leave here knowing that they made an impact in a positive way and not holding grudges or being rude to others because they don't have the same political views as you.
