The book is as overwrought and tediously verbose as an Obama speech, describing utensils that "blared patriotic merriment" and the "cobalt, maybe sapphire" color of the president's tie. Grace by Cody Keenan, the top White House speechwriter during Obama's second term, is a "behind-the-scenes drama" encompassing a 10-day period in 2015 during which the wunderkind author and his genius boss "composed a series of high-stakes speeches" that changed the world or whatever. One of those white dorks has written a book about what it was like. When the people in charge of deciding such things decided the white dorks who helped Obama write his speeches would be treated like actual celebrities. That was a different time, back when John Boehner and Mitt Romney were considered existential threats to democracy. Remember Barack Obama, the cocksure memoirist who ran for president to pad his résumé and went on to solve racism and restore peace on earth? The guy whose soaring rhetoric sent thrills of ecstasy coursing through the inner thighs of veteran journalists and millions of American voters who could finally prove to the world they weren't racist?
