WaPo: The Single Most Important Sentence President Obama Uttered In His BuzzFeed Interview
BuzzFeed chief Ben Smith sat down with President Obama on Tuesday. The interview drew lots of attention largely because, well, the president sat down with BuzzFeed. (If you are surprised by that, you haven't followed the Obama administration's media strategy very closely.) But Obama makes an important admission in the interview that gets at a critical question facing Democrats as they try to maintain control of the White House in 2016.
Here the exchange:
Smith: You were elected with this new coalition of young people, people of color, women, and I wonder: Is that a coalition that the next Democratic nominee — Hillary Clinton or not — inherits?
Obama: I don’t think any president inherits a coalition. I think any candidate has to win over people based on what they stand for, what their message is, what their vision is for the future.
