The Day After: Obama on His Legacy, Trump's Win and the Path Forward with Jann Wenner
I think it's pretty good, pretty enlightening, and even a little sobering, despite its panegyric nature. Some high points: Obama pointing out that sitting in the chair changes things for everyone, Obama acknowledging the problems Dems have at the state level, Obama pointing to North Carolina as evidence of real change in the country. Some low points: Obama blaming Fox News (still), Wenner summoning the Koch brothers (bait Obama refused, to his credit), Wenner talking up subsidies for the "news" industry.
