The West Wing meets The Office in this “funny, moving story about employed in the White colored House that is a must read for anyone who misses having Barack Obama as President” (Dan Pfeiffer, cohost of Pod Save America), straight from his senior writer and former Deputy Director of Messaging.

West Winging It’s the “fitfully funny…warm and observant” (Kirkus) tale of Pat Cunnane and his journey from outsider to insider—from his dreary job at a warehouse to his fantasy job in the Light House. Pat pulls about West Winging It: An Un-presidential Memoir the drapes back on the most well-known and unique building in the United States, telling the storyplot of the real Western world Wing with convincing and quirky portraits of the people who populate the area, from the Leader to the press corps. Pat goes into the Oval Office, providing a “snappy, sunlit” (USA TODAY) insider’s glimpse of what it’s really like—through the minutiae to the momentous—to just work at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

On the way, Pat attracts a romantic portrait of the medial side of President Obama that few were privy to—the funnyman, the nerd, the athlete, the nurturing parent. He details both the small details—the time he viewed in horror as the Chief executive reached over the sneeze guard at Chipotle—and the bigger, historic moments, such as watching the Chief executive handle the news headlines of the 2015 terrorist episodes in Paris. In a few ways, working in the White colored House is like every office, and in a few methods, it’s like no office ever. Pat recounts the time he accidentally slammed a door on Joe Biden, plotted to have the Pope bless him by faking a sneeze, and nearly killed America’s First Dog.

“West Winging It really is a fun, poignant reminder that the best part about employed in the Obama Light House was the people dealing with you, and understanding that everyone was there for the proper reason: to attempt to do as much great, for as many people, as we possibly could” (Jay Carney, former press secretary). At its core, it’s a fish-out-of-water tale—just these fish want to run the United States of America.
