Black Man, White House

An Oral History of the Obama Years

By: D. L. Hughley

Narrated by: Mia Barron, Cherise Boothe, Ron Butler, Greg Itzin, Paula Jai Parker-Martin, John Reynolds, James Shippy, Keith Szarabajka, Fran Tunno, Dan Woren

From legendary comedian D.L. Hughley comes a bitingly funny send-up of the Obama years, as “told” by the key political players on both sides of the aisle.

What do the Clintons, Republicans, fellow Democrats, and Obama’s own family really think of President Barack Obama? Finally, the truth is revealed in this raucously funny “oral history” parody.

There is no more astute—and hilarious—critic of politics, entertainment, and race in America than D. L. Hughley, famed comedian, radio star, and original member of the “Kings of Comedy.” In the vein of Jon Stewart’s America: The Book, Black Man, White House is an acerbic and witty take on Obama’s two terms, looking at the president’s accomplishments and foibles through the imagined eyes of those who saw history unfold.

Hughley draws upon satirical interviews with the most notorious public figures of our day: Mitt Romney (“What’s ‘poverty’? Is that some sort of rap jargon?”); Nancy Pelosi (“I play F**k/Marry/Kill, and there’s a lot more kills than fu**ks in Congress, believe me.”); Rod Blagojevich (“You can’t sell political offices on eBay; I discovered that personally.”); Joe Biden (“I like wrestling.”); and other politicians, media pundits, and buffoons. It is sure to be the most irreverent—and perhaps the most honest—look at American politics today.

Binge Listened!

ENJOYED the characterizations, humor, and insights. Mostly, Appreciated the inspiration while standing on line to vote.

Fantastic....lol

This book deserves to win for best narrator. It is funny, truthful. It is one of the best books I have ever downloaded from audible

So freaking good!

It was historically on point. It was hilariously funny. And it gave you such a deep perspective on the Obama Administration and his quest to become President of the United States.

Laughing your way through the Obama years

This book provides an original and fun way to relive the Obama years. With a talented cast, “Black Man, White House,” takes us from Obama’s address to the Democratic Convention as an unknown political up and comer through to the end of his presidency. It’s funny, clever and fun.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed DL Hughley’s perspective on President Obama’s years in the White House. I laughed out loud during many moments in this book. I loved the narration, the colorful language, and how I was able to say out loud “ oh yeah, I remember that!”
