On Monday, President Obama’s second inauguration ceremony was held, coinciding with Martin Luther King Day. The crowds were smaller than four years ago, but this deeply significant event was still one of the best attended second inaugurations. “It’s easy for Americans to take for granted their quadrennial renewal of democracy, the peaceful acceptance by the losing side that knows, for certain, it will have another chance. Monday’s ritual reminds us to celebrate this inevitability, which people in many other countries can only envy.”
