Attitudes will change. The Army relaxed the "no tatoo" requirement because everyone has one now. More companies allow a casual dressing code, because candidates keep on demanding it. Future employers will relax their attitude towards social media un-professional behaviours everybody will have such a thing on their profile. Even Obama admitted having smoked a joint. If he got a pass, a lot of other people will too. |

1. I think presidents tend to get a lot of passes other people don't. It comes with the level of influence they have.
2. Presidents are selected by the typical American voter. Smoking a joint is cool these days with plenty of people (esp. younger), but employers are typically older and more traditional. He didn't get a pass with these people, they just weren't going to vote for him already for other reasons.
Not to say I disagree with your overall point - America is generally becoming more progressive.
