Every night, he read ten of them before going to bed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn To Obama, Jeanne Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter-writers themselves and the White House staff in the Office of Presidential Correspondence who were witness to the millions of pleas, rants, thank-yous and apologies that landed in the mailroom during the Obama years. At once desperate, joyful, hateful and despairing, they form an intimate portrait of one man's relationship with the American people, and of a time when empathy intersected with politics in the White House.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Jeanne+Marie+Laskas\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJeanne Marie Laskas\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jeanne Marie Laskas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377048141987,"sku":"9781408894507","price":290.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781408894507_674275eb-6766-477f-b994-e3d2147f8d82.jpg?v=1776528723","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781408894507","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
