In fact, say many Obama supporters, O’Rourke is a 2020 version of their former boss.
“That ability to make people feel invested in his campaign and his story does remind me of Obama ‘08,” said David Litt, who was a speechwriter for Obama. “You see the crowds and the enthusiasm, the kind of movement that isn’t about me but about us.”
Litt is the the author of a book called “Thanks, Obama: My Hopey Changey White House Years.” He maintains that O’Rourke, like Obama, is the kind of candidate that would inspire his staff member to work hard and “go the extra mile.”
“They wanted to put in an extra shift or make a dozen phone calls on his behalf or talk to their neighbors because they really believe in him,” Litt said. “And even when he came up short, everyone felt like they had achieved something great. There are very few people who can inspire that kind of sentiment.”
