Thanks, Obama: My Hopey, Changey White House Years by David Litt

4.0

---

I was kind of skeptical of this at first, but I really enjoyed reading about Litt's journey as a speechwriter for Obama. He does a great job of mixing in the funny/embarrassing/little happenings of his work with the bigger questions about the purpose of public service, Obama's presidency, and America. Would recommend if you're curious about what it's like to be a speechwriter in the White House. Also, it's a light and optimistic read, with eloquent and funny writing - as you might expect from someone who wrote presidential speeches.
