Summary: Working in the White House sounds impressive, but speechwriter David Litt says it’s not like <em>The West Wing</em>. Some days you just find salmon in a toilet, or have to tell the president that he looks like Hitler. Litt shares his experience as a self-described unimportant person working in the most important place in America. Litt’s new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Thanks-Obama-Hopey-Changey-White/dp/1538454440/?tag=slatmaga-20"><em>Thanks, Obama</em></a> is out now, and you can find him <a href="https://twi">on Twitter</a>.<br>In the Spiel, it’s a sports talk hot take.
