Part two (of four) of the Coates/Obama interview. A lot here. Worth the time to read and parse. General takeaway: man is Obama a thoughtful dude.
And I always tell my staff, “Better is good.” I’ll take better every time, because better is hard. Better may not be as good as the best, but better is surprisingly hard to obtain. And better is actually harder than worse.
