He walked among us

The country has been swallowed by the great depression 2.0, complete with apple-sellers and bruce springsteen singing buddy, can you spare a dime on the radio. the republican incumbent--battling his high-living wife, a populist opponent, and the accurate perception that he's rich and removed--has no choice but to follow his handlers' advice: cross the country incognito, living and working among his people for twelve days in a desperate bid to seem attuned to their plight. with secret cameras rolling and his bickering speechwriters composing his diary, he sets off on a trip that will defy the best-laid plans of k street's finest. repackaging a candidate and his family has never been so challenging--or painfully funny. from hobo jungles filled with middle management to sidewalks crowded with panhandling schtik-savants, he walked among us is a wickedly gleeful romp across the country and its political landscape.
