@KGNU's Claudia Cragg (@KGNUClaudia) speaks here
with Dan Pfeiffer,@danpfeiffer a cohost of
#PodSaveAmerica, now also coming to #HBO in the fall
in four hour-long specials. The show's co-creators/presenters
are @jonfavs @tvietor08 & @jonlovett.
One of Barack Obama’s longest serving advisors, Pfeiffer was White House director of communications under President Obama (2009-2013) and senior advisor to the president (2013-2015).
The Decade of Obama (2007-2017) was, Pfeiffer believes, one of
massive change that rewrote the rules of politics in ways we are
only now beginning to understand (which is, he says, why we all got
2016 wrong). YES WE (STILL) CAN looks at how President 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 readers with an
in-depth, behind the-scenes look at life on the front lines of
politics.
