West Winging It: An Unpresidential Memoir is the personal story of Pat Cunnane and his journey from outsider to insider, from his dreary job at a warehouse to his dream job at the White House. Pat pulls the drapes back on the most famous and exclusive building in the United States, telling the story of the real West Wing with compelling and quirky portraits of the people who populate the place, from the president to the press corps.

Whitehouse meets The Office? eh.. still good tho
Revisado: 08-10-18
I downloaded this book when I read "Whitehouse meets The Office", and yeah there are moments of awkward coworker interaction, but no more than any other book by an Obama staffer. Its still got great stories, but the book is not nearly on level with the TV show. If the author was a character on The Office, they're be Ryan with a little Andy mixed in which makes his account a little hard to listen to at times. Some of the stories are organized in a way that I didn't enjoy. The Seinfeld story in particular had what felt like 50 mini stories. I understand it can be a writing device, wrapping stories into a bigger narrative, but it doesn't feel seamless or consistent. However, there are a few chuckle out loud moments, and it's always nice to read stories about people working with Obama and doing good work.

In 2012, Beck Dorey-Stein is working five part-time jobs and just scraping by when a posting on Craigslist lands her, improbably, in the Oval Office as one of Barack Obama’s stenographers. The ultimate DC outsider, she joins the elite team who accompany the president wherever he goes, recorder and mic in hand. On whirlwind trips across time zones, Beck forges friendships with a dynamic group of fellow travelers - young men and women who, like her, leave their real lives behind to hop aboard Air Force One in service of the president.

Authenticity and insight
Revisado: 08-05-18
I am so sad when this book didn't continue another few hours. Beck Dorey-Stein shares a truly personal and relatable story of traveling and bonding with Obama's staff, and hearing her say the words with inflections and inpersonations just makes it. seriously- what an adventure. At the end of this book, if you don't want to be her friend you are probably a heartless garbage human.
