It just hit me.
Until 2008 a pastor like Rick Warren would never have been considered a controversial choice to be at any inaugural event. His inclusion wouldn’t have caused an eye to bat once.
Until 2008 a Bishop like Gene Robinson would have been impossible to include in any inaugural event without a massive uproar that would have been politically untenable.
This says how much the country in general and the media & Democratic party in particular has changed.
What you believe will determine if you think this is a good or bad change.
