Anything Goes : Working For the Obamas by Matthew Gross

Matthew Gross

Working For the Obamas

One of the greatest joys of my life was having the opportunity to work for the Obamas during the pandemic. I was on call for a month, even getting paid on the days I wasn’t needed on set. On my first day, I broke down in tears. We were in the thick of Trump’s chaos, and stepping into that environment—working for the former President and First Lady—felt like finding refuge, like returning to a safe harbor.
