All presidencies are historic. But no president since at least LBJ, and probably FDR, has arrived in Washington at a moment of greater historic urgency than Barack Obama. The man who took that oath of office seemed cut from American folklore — a neophyte politician elected senator only four years before, a prodigious and preacherly orator from the “Land of Lincoln” and the South Side of Chicago of the Great Migration. An embodiment not just of the American Dream as it had been imagined by the Greatest Generation of his own maternal grandparents but of a new version, too, one that might be embraced by his daughters — global, utopian-ish, post-boomer, “post-racial.”
More than “hope,” Obama’s candidacy promised “one America.” It is the deep irony of his presidency, and for Obama himself probably the tragedy, that the past eight years saw the country fiercely divided against itself. The president still managed to get a ridiculous amount done, advancing an unusually progressive agenda. But however Americans end up remembering the Obama years decades from now, one thing we can say for sure is that it did not feel, at the time, like an unmitigated liberal triumph. It felt like a cold civil war.
Or a never-breaking political fever. There was the tea-party rage and Occupy Wall Stree

Mr. Know-it-all: A star is born in Hudson
Dear Mr. Know-It-All, wasn't there a Hollywood actress in the 1950s who grew up in Hudson. I think she was in a few Abbott and Costello movies. D.V., Hudson
You are correct, D.V. The actress in question is Shaye Cogan. She was born Helen J. Coggins, the daughter of Dr. Charles Coggins, a Hudson dentist.
In the late 1930s, she lived on O'Neil Street, according to Allan Johnson, a member of the Hudson Historical Society, who lived a few houses down from the Coggins clan. He says he was two years older than Helen Coggins. "She was an attractive girl," recalled Johnson during a recent phone interview. "She and her brothers, Charles Jr. and Alan, went to tap dancing school. There was also a younger brother, Donald."
Johnson, who graduated from Hudson High School in 1940, figures Coggins graduated in either 1942 or '43.
She changed her name to Shaye Cogan for her professional career as an actress and a singer.
