It's me, Alyssa -- Some personal shit you should probably know -- Confidence, or the hope flood -- Humility, or changes we can believe in, sort of, if we have to -- Risk-taking, or Ah-LEES-ah goes to Brooklyn -- Resilience, or a "serious" breakdown -- Kindness, or a spirit soars over Denali -- Conclusion: Politics, now with less Navy 520 $a "Alyssa Mastromonaco worked for Barack Obama for almost a decade, and long before his run for president. From the then-senator's early days in Congress to his years in the oval office, she made Hope and Change happen through blood, sweat, tears, and lots of briefing binders. But for every historic occasion--meeting the queen at Buckingham Palace, bursting in on secret climate talks, or nailing a campaign speech in a hailstorm--there were dozens of less-than-perfect moments when it was up to Alyssa to save the day. Like the time she learned the hard way that there aren't nearly enough bathrooms at the Vatican. Full of hilarious, never-before-tole stories, Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? is an intimate portrait of a president, a book about how to get stuff done, and the story of how one woman challenged, again and again, what a 'White House official' is supposed to look like" -- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Mastromonaco, Alyssa, $d 1976- 600 10 $a Obama, Barack 600 10 $a Obama, Barack $x Friends and associates 650 0 $a Women government executives $z United States $v Biography 650 0 $a Government executives $z United States $v Biography 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff $v Biography 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2009-2017 700 1 $a Oyler, Lauren 941 $a 1 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20181205011915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8247CC30F85B11E886998A0397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
