As I’m watching the democratic convention, I can’t help but to think about President Obama’s speech writer, Jon Favreau. Yeah, Obama is great at delivering heart-touching, “truthful” speeches, but know this America, he didn’t write it–merely approved it. That’s not to say delivering a speech does not come with great difficulty, because it does. I can barely keep from passing out when talking in front of my peers in a small classroom setting, while this guy does it almost flawlessly in front of a crowd twenty thousand strong. Not including the millions of tv/online viewers. That’s a lot of pressure. But, what kind of pressure do you think lies with the person responsible for the words the president will say? What I found most interesting about Mr Favreau is that he’s been Barack’s speechwriter since he was first elected to the senate. It leads me to believe that Jon Favreau is a huge part of the reason why Obama is the president. I know it sounds far fetched, but I mean c’mon, this guy writes the stuff that people eat out of the palm of Barack’s hand. Back in 2008, most of what the general public knew about presidential hopeful Obama were the words that another man wrote. Kudos to you Jon Favreau.
