4.9/5 (31988 ratings)

Description:The thrilling, inspirational story of Obama's first Presidential campaign, as told by those who lived it. In the months leading up to the Iowa Caucuses, few thought a man named Barack Hussein Obama would be able to win the Democratic nomination--not to mention become the country's first black president.But something was stirring. Hundreds of young people from all over the country, inspired by a message of hope and change, began assembling in Iowa - among them were future White House staffers Dan Pfeiffer, Josh Earnest, and Tommy Vietor. These "kids" became the backbone of one of the most improbable presidential campaigns of our lifetime. What compelled them to uproot their lives and join a nascent movement considered by nearly everyone to be the long shot of all long shots? And what was so unique about Obama's organization that future candidates, aides, volunteers, and activists can learn from?Chris Liddell-Westefeld was one of those kids. He, along with hundreds of others, dedicated every ounce of their time, intelligence, and limited resources to helping elect Barack Obama. Some would go on to hold top positions in the Administration, including Liddell-Westefeld himself, who prepared the President's briefing book each morning. Others were less well-known, but each person's life was forever touched by the experience of working on the campaign-many went back to their home states and achieved great things in service to their communities.Featuring more than 200 interviews with alumni, staffers, and President Obama himself, 'THEY SAID THIS DAY WOULD NEVER COME' is an oral history that takes listeners inside the campaign, as they worked 14-hour days and drove hundreds of miles, building networks of support throughout the country for one of the most inspirational and successful campaigns in recent history.This audiobook is narrated by the following contributors: The Author, Chris Liddell-Westefeld, Ally Coll, Alyssa Mastromonaco, Anne Filipic, Annick Febrey, Ava Hinds Lawson, Barrack Obama, Bess Evans, Brynne Craig, Carianna Suiter, Chelsea Kammerer, Chris Wyant, Cody Keenan, Dan Pfeiffer, David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Danielle Crutchfield, Dean Fluker, Elizabeth Wilkins, Emily Parcell, Esher Morales, Francis Iacobucci, Graham Wilson, Greg Degen, Howli Ledbetter, Jackie Bray, Jamal Pope, James Schuelke, Janice Rottenberg, Jason Waskey, Jeremy Bird, Joe Cupka, Joe Paulsen, Jon Carson, Jon Favreau, Josh Earnest, Kal Penn, Katherine Onyshko, Kristin Avery, Lauren Champaign, Lauren Kidwell, Maggie Thompson, MaryGrace Galston, Megan Simpson, Meghan Goldenstein, Michael Blake, Michael Halle, Mitch Stewart, Nicole Young, Patricia King, Paul Tewes, Paulette Aniskoff, Pete Rouse, Rachel Haltom-Irwin, Shannon Valley, Stephanie Speirs, Steve Dunwoody, Tom Zimmerman, Tommy Vietor, Tony Rediger, Tripp Wellde, Tyler Lechtenberg, Valerie Jarrett, Victoria McCullough, Yohannes AbrahamRUNNING TIME ➜ 8hrs. and 7mins.©2020 Chris Liddell-Westefeld (P)2020 PublicAffairsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
