Summary:
"For two centuries, presidents hoping to secure their legacies have sought out biographers. But who could possibly capture the inspiring yet bizarre reality of the first
black
man
in the
White
House
? Thankfully, as the end of President Barack Obama’s two terms in office drew near, the First Lady had a stroke of genius: "Honey, all these presidential biographies are written by old
white
guys. Why not hook a brother up for once?” Enter D.L. Hughley. When the comedy legend got the call from the
White
House
, he knew this was the assignment of a lifetime. And so D.L. proudly set out to record a true and accurate
oral
history
of the
Obama
years
, interviewing everyone from Obama’s esteemed Democratic colleagues in Washington to segments of the "conservative base" who have irrefutable proof that
Obama
is a Kenyan-born Muslim. Protected by the Patriot Act and the promise of a presidential pardon, Hughley bitch-slapped virtually every rule of journalism in pursuit of his mission: hacking into Hillary Clinton's private e-mail server; infiltrating Trump's tanning sessions; staking out each of Mitt Romney's 752 mansions; even eavesdropping on Bill Clinton's late-night escapades. At the end of it all, Hughley had bravely assembled an explosive dossier that would make Edward Snowden (and even the NSA) blush.
Black
Man
,
White
House
is the culmination of these extraordinary comedic efforts, an authoritative work on the
Obama
presidency that is destined to enlighten and entertain patriots, scholars, and Yes-We-Can'ers for generations to come. Darryl Lynn "D. L." Hughley is an American actor, political commentator, radio host and stand-up comedian."--Provided by publisher.
