Let's see what comes next. If it were an all white event and they missed the African-American pastor I am sure we would be hearing swells of complaints and calling for public apologies and more.

They were fixed immediately afterwards. Actually, very few attending the live event heard the prayer as the speakers were somehow non-functional for the entire prayer.

We learned that Obama met with the bishop several times during the campaign. The least we should expect from the new president is a bit of genuine concern over the apparent insult to Robinson, offered by his own people. If we do not see these two things, then we really will know exactly what kind of "change" we should expect.

I've only seen one person on TV actually make the statement flat out that the Bush Administration did exactly what they wanted to do--that their actions were not "mistakes". Jeanine Gerafalo. And here we are again. They'll do whatever the hell they want, and if caught on anything, will simply claim it was a mistake and that it is more important to look ahead than to look back. I think I'm gonna go rob a bank. Then, when I'm hauled up into court, my attorney will offer the defense that we shouldn't look back at my "mistake", we should only look forward. Think it'll work for me too? Even still yet one more administration which claims something they’ve done because they wanted to was a “mistake”.
