Praise for Power in Words
"It was the late Richard Neustadt who famously wrote that 'presidential power is the power to persuade.' This rich and thoughtful collection of the stories behind the speeches that launched Barack Obama to the national stage and eventually the presidency demonstrates how incredible this power can be when placed in the hands of a brilliant and gifted orator. Power in Words highlights President Obama's ability--and the abilities of his talented speechwriters and advisers--to translate the unspoken desire of the American people for a leader with humility, intelligence, and understanding into a language that all Americans could connect with and believe in." --John Podesta, president and CEO of the Center for American Progress and chief of staff to President Clinton
