Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter, and Trump by Dan PfeifferMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
As an avid listener of Pod Save America I was immediately drawn to this when I saw it on the book store shelf(along with the colorful graphics). The book is roughly drawn into different segments. First is a personal memoir of how Dan's political life grew and how he ended up in the Obama administration. Secondly is a look into the inner workings of the Obama Administration. The third is his personal insight into how we ended up going from Obama to Trump and the chaos we have in today's politics. Also thrown in is his directness(curse words and all), workaholicism, neuroticism, and how he met his wife. It isn't your typical droning preachy political book meaning as seriously as subject matter there are lighthearted moments and a bit of self-deprecating humor to let us know he's human and not just another faceless Presidential advisor. For those looking for some insight on what it was like inside the Obama years, this is a good place to start.
