Joseph Lowery wins the Inauguration.
Obama’s speech was no slouch, either, but anybody who gets a hundred thousand people to yell “Amen!” wins.
I’m wearing a T-shirt today that says “I deeply resent the way this administration makes me feel like a nutbar conspiracy theorist.” And I can’t really express how happy I will be to retire it, at least as regards presidential politics, for the next several years. Much as I like the shirt, I hope it’s gone for good.
Amen.
