So the Obama administration oral history project went live today. An extraordinary resource for historians and teachers, and a great credit to the team of folks who compiled them all, including Evan McCormick, @pastpunditry.bsky.social and many others.

Fantastic project, and very cool to see the @universityofhawaii.bsky.social contribution, including Micah Mizukami's, a PhD student in my department who is also AD of the Center for Oral History.

A new set of oral history interviews released by @incitecolumbia.bsky.social documents how Obama and his advisers missed the shifting mood of the country that would ultimately replace him with a successor they considered a “con man,” “clown” and “laughingstock.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...
