What's It Matter?

The President of the U.S. invited last years Chase contenders to the White House on Wednesday. Several drivers declined to go and of course, now people are making a huge deal about it. Some are mad at the ones who are going and some are mad at the ones who aren't. My question is, what's it matter if they go or not? Nothing bad is going to happen if they do or don't go. The only people that it affects are the drivers. They're grown men and they can make their own decisions. Once people heard about drivers not going they automatically jumped to the conclusion that it's because they're republicans and don't like him. People never even considered that they are busy people and if the president really wanted them all to be there he would have scheduled it months in advance so they could have their schedules cleared for it. What's the big deal if they just don't like him? Last I checked, it's still a free country and you still have the right to make your own choices. They made the choice to go or not to go, you getting mad over it isn't going to change their mind. As far saying that they're disrespecting the president, how are they doing that? The president never said they had to be there, he gave them the choice on whether or not to come. Just because a driver declines to go meet the president, doesn't mean that's a sign of disrespect.

In my opinion, I would be more upset at a driver who didn't want to go to a charity function than one who didn't want to go see the president. I believe that raising money for charities is a lot more important but that's just me. What if one of those drivers who said they couldn't go has to be at a function for a charity? How would you feel if they cancelled that to go see the president? Maybe you should learn to consider the circumstances instead of jumping straight to a conclusion. I'll lose respect for a driver who doesn't go to a charity event rather than one who decides not to go see the president. There's more important things in this world to be mad about, it's stupid to be mad over whether a driver goes to see the president or not.
