520    "A different kind of White House memoir, presidential 
       speechwriter David Litt's comic account of his years spent
       working with Barack Obama and his reflection on Obama's 
       legacy in the age of Trump.  Like many twentysomethings, 
       David Litt frequently embarrassed himself in front of his 
       boss's boss. Unlike many twentysomethings, Litt's boss's 
       boss was President Obama. At age twenty-four, Litt became 
       one of the youngest White House speechwriters in history. 
       Along with remarks on issues like climate change and 
       criminal justice reform, he was the president's go-to 
       writer for comedy. As the lead on the White House 
       Correspondents' Dinner speech (the "State of the Union of 
       jokes"), he was responsible for some of President Obama's 
       most memorable moments, including Keegan-Michael Key's 
       appearance as Luther, Obama's "anger translator."  With a 
       humorist's eye for detail and a convert's zeal, Litt takes
       us inside his eight years on the front lines of 
       Obamaworld. In his political coming-of-age story, he goes 
       from starry-eyed college student--a self-described 
       "Obamabot"--to nervous junior speechwriter to White House 
       senior staff. His behind-the-scenes anecdotes answer 
       questions you never knew you had: What's the classiest 
       White House men's room? What's the social scene like on 
       Air Force One? How do you force the National Security 
       Council to stop hitting reply-all on every e-mail? In 
       between lighthearted observations, Litt uses his 
       experience to address one of today's most important issues
       : the legacy and future of the Obama movement in the age 
       of Donald Trump"
