When Barack Obama steps up to the podium to deliver his inaugural address, one man standing anonymously in the crowd will be paying especially close attention. Jon Favreau, 27, is, as Obama himself puts it, the president's mind reader. He is one of the youngest chief speechwriters on record in the White House, and, despite being of such tender age, was the lets just say master mind who came up with the content of Obama's Inauguration speech. I feel that the arise to prominence of our first Black President was largely built upon his powers as an orator(I like that word), Obama is well versed in the arts of speech-making though and it's like he can always deliver that "amen" line. But the inauguration speech had to out do all of the ones before.
And I was reading this about Jon Favreau and how he has helped Barack with his speeches and before reading it I would have gave all of that credit to Obama but it seems their are several people who should be thanked for that great inauguration day speech and all the others. I wonder if Martin Luther King Jr. had a chief speechwriter? Nah(shaking head) you think? Read More Here.
