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

4.0

---

This is a great behind the scenes look at the life of a speechwriter in the Obama White House. David Litt does a wonderful job of writing a memoir that is poignant and self deprecating in exactly the right way. This so easily could have been a snarky, bitter tale or a rose colored rainbows and kittens tale that glossed over the disappointments we all felt at some time or another. Litt strikes the balance, and reminded me of the feeling of hope, at a time when it seems like the world is falling apart.
