"A compelling, behind-the-scenes account of President Obama's first
six years in office."--HuffPost Live
"Revealing....Mr. Todd has grounded his arguments in hundreds of
interviews with Washington sources and his intimate knowledge of
how that city works or (more often, these days) fails to
work."--Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"Richly sourced and deeply informed....There aren't many Washington
journalists with the access, reporting skills, and authorial
dexterity to write a comprehensive history of a presidential
administration while it's still racking up miles on Air Force One.
Todd delivers a surprising depth of insider reporting considering
how few insiders have spoken publickly about this
administration."--Scott Porch, Chicago Tribune
"Todd is the rare Washington commentator whose on-air musings are
consistently backed by authoritative reporting....He knows his
subject, and he knows how to write....Readers of The Stranger
unquestionably benefit from Mr. Todd's Beltway-insider
status."--Robert Draper, Wall Street Journal
"Todd, the newly minted Meet the Press host and former NBC chief
White House correspondent, provides an even-handed, concise, and
thorough account of President Obama's first six years in the Oval
Office."--Publishers Weekly
