Author Ta-Nehisi Coates revealed Wednesday that he sent a letter to Barack Obama expressing disappointment in him for taking money for speeches, saying he thought the former president "should be better."
Coates is one of the nation's foremost writers on race and a strong supporter of Obama, writing in a piece for the Atlantic that he "came to regard Obama as a skilled politician, a deeply moral human being, and one of the greatest presidents in American history."
