Former Senior Presidential Speechwriter David Litt has revealed in a new memoir that the Obama White House was basically a giant frat, complete with “bro culture,” sexual power plays, and penis jokes.
David Litt, an aide in the White House for nearly all of Obama’s presidency, reveals how he was part of an all-male, all-white and all under-40 team which produced speech after speech for the president.
He also reveals how the team – and other White House aides – drank, smoked, called each other ‘bro’, and liked – or pretended to like – only college basketball to please the president.
One aide used his White House business card to sleep with a blonde D.C. newscaster and boast about it to his co-workers.
There’s a lot to unpack here. First, let’s just point out how unbelievably ironic it is that Obama – Mr. “Diversity and Inclusion” – had a speechwriting team consisting exclusively of white bros. Second, let’s also point out how unbelievably ironic it is that Obama – Mr. “Dear Colleague letter” – employed people who used their status and privilege to get women to sleep with them.
Moving on.
Litt’s memoir – ridiculously titled, “Thanks, Obama: My Hopey Changey White House Years” – also touches on how incredibly cocky Obama was:
During another rehearsal, Obama had been practicing lines for a skit involving Comedy Central star Keegan-Michael Key for the 2015 Correspondents Dinner.
After the president was asked if the crew should return the next morning for another run-through, he responded: ‘Nah…The truth is, I’m pretty f***ing good at this.’
On a related note, the former president also apparently loved penis jokes – about himself:
During a run-through of his speech for the 2012 Correspondents Dinner, one member of his team made a racially-loaded joke that referenced the president’s manhood.
The line alluded to Vice President Joe Biden’s remark that POTUS had a ‘big stick’ when it came to foreign policy.
‘Let’s put it this way, dreams aren’t the only thing I got from my father,’ speechwriter Jeff Nussbaum wrote as a joke.
According to Litt, ‘POTUS laughed so loudly that I secretly hoped he would add the line to the script.’
However, he explains, a ‘presidential d**k joke was a bridge too far’ during an election year and the line was scrapped.
And to think that liberals positively tore Donald Trump apart when he exchanged verbal barbs with Marco Rubio over the size of his hands.
If you’re interested in Litt’s memoir, it’s scheduled to hit shelves on Sept. 19. I’m sure Litt and Obama bros everywhere will see it as a tribute to the coolest president ever, but everyone else will see it for what it really is: proof that Obama is nothing but a cocky hypocrite.
