He started every morning in the Oval Office with the President’s Daily Brief, traveled the world with Obama, and was at the center of some of the most consequential and controversial moments of the presidency. Now, he tells the full story of his partnership with a man who also happened to be a historic president of the United States.

First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a "dying city", and transformed it into a shining model of urban reinvention.

David Litt was one of those 20-somethings. After graduating from college in 2008, he went straight to the Obama campaign. In 2011 he became one of the youngest White House speechwriters in history.

For Clinton, that meant contorting himself around the various factions of the Democratic party to win the presidency. Gingrich employed a scorched-earth strategy to upend the permanent Republican minority in the House, making him speaker.

In July 2004, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. Now, in The Audacity of Hope, Senator Obama calls for a different brand of politics: a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the "endless clash of armies" we see in Congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of "our improbable experiment in democracy".

For nearly a decade, Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton's pursuit of the presidency. Chozick's front-row seat, initially at the Wall Street Journal covering Mrs. Clinton's imploding 2008 campaign, and then at the New York Times where she was assigned "The Hillary Beat", set off a years-long journey in which the formative years of her twenties and thirties became, both personally and professionally, intrinsically intertwined to Clinton's presidential ambitions.

While other boys played outside, he stayed indoors reading Greek mythology. And being gay and overweight, he got used to diminishing himself. But little by little, he started learning from all the strange, lonely outcasts in history, and he started to feel hope. In this collection of personal essays, Guy talks about finding a sense of belonging at Berkeley, being typecast as the “Sassy Gay Friend”, and more....

In May 1987, Colorado Senator Gary Hart seemed a lock for the party’s presidential nomination and led George H. W. Bush by double digits in the polls. Then, in one tumultuous week, rumors of marital infidelity and a newspaper’s stakeout of Hart’s home resulted in a media frenzy the likes of which had never been seen. Through the spellbindingly reported story of the senator’s fall from grace, Matt Bai, Yahoo News columnist and former chief political correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, reveals the Hart affair to be far more than one man’s tragedy.

"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them. Michael Lewis’ brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders.

Awkward and Disappointing
- By Amit M on 10-04-18
Publisher's Summary
From Obama's former communications director and current cohost of Pod Save America comes a colorful account of how politics, the media, and the Internet changed during the Obama presidency and how Democrats can fight back in the Trump era.
The Decade of Obama (2007-2017) was one of massive change that rewrote the rules of politics in ways we are only now beginning to understand (which is why we all got 2016 wrong). Yes We (Still) Can looks at how Obama navigated the forces that allowed Trump to win the White House to become one of the most consequential presidents in American history, why Trump surprised everyone, and how Democrats can come out on top in the long run.
Part political memoir, part blueprint for progressives in the Trump era, Yes We (Still) Can is an insider's take on the crazy politics of our time. Pfeiffer, one of Barack Obama's longest serving advisors, tells never-before-told stories from Obama's presidential campaigns to his time in the White House, providing listeners with an in-depth, behind the-scenes look at life on the front lines of politics.

Exceeded All Expectations
Not that I didn't think it would be a good book, but it was hilarious too! I actually had to stop the audio a few times to finish laughing so I didn't miss anything. With all things considered, it could've been a downer of a book or dull. I'm just so grateful it was far from either. I love when authors read their own stuff, because their personality (and the way the book is meant to be read) really comes through. I'm only upset that I've just now decided to order a hard copy for a family member, and wish it could've contributed to the presale "Swing Left" promotion. Great job Dan and, truly and genuinely, thank you. It was just what we needed to hear.

Light and Enjoyable
Full disclosure- I’m a big fan of the whole Crooked Media group of pod-lebrities, so I was predisposed to enjoying this book. I did enjoy it very much.
Pfeiffer is endearingly self-effacing, never giving himself much credit. However, it’s clear he’s a very intelligent guy. His writing brings a great sense of humor and insight that takes the book to a higher level. There’s something so likable about his delivery that by the end of the book, you just wanna hug the guy.
I loved this book and I think it’s re-listenable, which is a plus. As for anyone reading this review, you already know whether or not you’ll enjoy Yes We Still Can. If you’re a fan of the Crooked pods, you’re going to enjoy hearing Dan’s insights and perspective in long form. If you’re on the other side of the political spectrum or you’re looking for something with a both sides approach- then this book isn’t what you’re looking for.

Worth a listen...
The content of the book is fine, and is pretty much exactly what any listener of Pod Save America would want and expect this book to be. The narration is also fairly good; Dan clearly is used to a microphone. My only significant gripe with the book is that, IMHO, Dan should have done without all of the salty Trump side-comments that pepper the entire book. Dan never seems to miss an opportunity to take a time out from the point he's making or the story he's telling to throw in a one-liner about how Trump is garbage. I know he is, and I agree with you, Dan... but when you so consistently drop to his level it makes you seem small and petty too. Those sorts of one-line snipes fit (in moderation) with the tone of Pod Save America, but they really detracted from the book for me. I'm sure others will love it though, so who knows...
The sound editing didn't do the author any favors here. The normal narration and sound quality is good. However, there are many, many times where it seemed obvious that Dan had recorded the book's words as written, but then come in later to splice in a snarky anti-Trump comment. The audio quality for these one-sentence "zingers" is noticeably different, and then the normal audio and narration resumes. Was there someone who, after the book had already been narrated, decided that "the book is almost there, but we should really go back and splice in a few dozen pointless insults to please the base..."? Whomever that was... he or she chose poorly.
I'm glad Dan wrote this book, and I'm glad that I listened to it. I didn't really learn much of anything new though, nor feel like I got an insider's view of anything in particular. Dan perhaps suffered the bad luck in my case of following the very strong audiobooks by Alyssa Mastromonaco and David Litt. If you're reading this review, you should buy all three.

I think it would have been good Dan to include some of the stuff that you did that went right. I was getting a bit pissed in the middle. You tell us the bad, but what about the good you did. Obama won't have kept you around so long if you didn't do stuff that went right. This book could have been a bit more balanced. We were all so hoping the election would have turned out differently, we were drinking our own Koolaid, and we didn't see it coming. Loved the book.

Great story!!
I follow Dan and the crew from Crooked Media and am huge fan of how they tell a story on their podcasts so I was not disappointed. Much like on the podcasts, Dan keeps it real, doesn’t sugarcoat our current situation but somehow always leaves you smiling. Thanks for a great story of one of the best periods of my life, the Obama years. Well done!!

Necessary And Entertaining Read
Do you wonder how an unqualified reality TV Star got elected the most powerful man in the world? Look no further than this book. This is a memoir/statistic review of how the social media and propaganda machines disguised as news caused the most unpredictable election results in world history. This also addresses ways that politics are now played in a post truth political era. This is a must get book. It’s the NYT bestseller for a reason.

You made me cry!!
I love your book. Honest, vulnerable and informative. I cried at the end when you left the White House and reflected on the hopes and dreams that came true. I will not dwell on what we have now but focus on what you all accomplished. I’m so proud and hopeful for our future. We can overcome this insanity.
