The Republicans' response to Obama confused a lot of people. I really think there's been a measure of clarity at the end, with Trump's election, that was not present during the Obama presidency.

I'm convinced in 100 years Obama will have an important place in the civic pantheon of American life.

I worry about the entire structure of American democracy under Trump.

Barack Obama knows a lot about a lot of things.

Barack Obama is an intellectual.

I don't think the Democrats need a silver bullet.

Trump has a lot of authoritarian tendencies that need to be a serious concern.
