Before Obama I would say wwe didn't have as many ideologicay people in power. The media while left leaning but generally were neutral, courts where more so impartial, and goverment agencies strickly focused on the task.

What did Obama do

As far as democrats go, Clinton is the one who purged all of the non-leftists from the party, while simultaneously creating the neocon right we see today. Obama just energized the zealots with racial self righteousness and put more lunatics into powerful positions they still hold today.
