One of the most important politics books of the year, To Obama is a
record of a time when politics intersected with empathy. A
TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR Every day, President Obama received ten
thousand letters from ordinary American citizens. Every night, he
read ten of them before going to bed. In To Obama, Jeanne Marie
Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter-writers themselves
and the White House staff in the Office of Presidential
Correspondence who were witness to the millions of pleas, rants,
thank-yous and apologies that landed in the mailroom during the
Obama years. There is Peggy, a patriotic grandmother who thinks the
President is trying to lead the country into socialism; James, who
on the morning after the 2016 election tells the President to start
packing; and Dawn, who writes to say that he made it possible for a
very jaded generation to begin to hope and believe in the good.
They wrote to Obama out of gratitude and desperation, in their
darkest times of need, with anger, fear and respect. To Obama is an
intimate look at one man's relationship with the American people,
and at how this extraordinary dialogue shaped an era-defining
presidency.
