Reading the book Game Changer: Wow it is fascinating

10. I guess there's that stuff

but I was actually really let down by the book.

Having served as an Obama fellow during the three months of summer of 2008, I found that there was very little I didn't already know in the midst of all those pages.

Of course, I may also be bitter that for better or for worse, the whole fellows program wasn't even mentioned. I thought it was a unique and interesting element of the campaign. And I think there were some interesting aspects to the whole thing, like how they had to keep all of us on hold until Hillary finally stood down, how they integrated/tried to integrate our work with the neighborhood teams, how delicate and sometimes difficult the OFA/DNC merger was, a number of about faces and policy changes with regard to the program that I don't want to get into here - I think it's a reasonably good story that was entirely left out.
