Obama inauguration: Words of history ... crafted by 27-year-old in Starbuck

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. With his cropped hair, five o'clock shadow and boyish face, he might look out of place among the dignitaries, though as co-author of the speech this man has more claim than most to be a witness to this moment of history.

Jon Favreau, 27, is, as Obama himself puts it, the president's mind reader. He is the youngest chief speechwriter on record in the White House, and, despite such youth, was at the centre of discussions of the content of today's speech, one which has so much riding on it.

For a politician whose rise to prominence was largely built upon his powers as an orator, Obama is well versed in the arts of speech-making. But today's effort will tower over all previous ones.

What? Inconceivable. A politician who has other people write their speeches? I-I've never heard of such a thing. :x zakkro

Relax sir, I have alerted the proper authorities.

It has been a long time since we had a president who was skilled in the arts of speaking and forming his own speeches. The living proof of this story is evidence that Obama is merely a shell who has the ability to memorize speeches.

It also reveals that people who voted for Obama were fools and remain as fools they shall.

Yes, it's quite serious. Obama doesn't write his own speeches - this is obviously a sign that his presidency will be the worst in history.

Anyway, you have any proof for anything you just said?

[QUOTE="Ultimate-Playa"][QUOTE="noswear"] Hey, at least unlike Bush, Obama can say what people write for him.noswear

Anyway, you have any proof for anything you just said?

Have you had seen speeches by Bush made when he was governor of Texas? Also, on the Obama's immigration policy about him wanting more foreign workers when Americans are losing jobs. It's on whitehouse an official website crafted by Obama and his cronies.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/immigration

"The time to fix our broken immigration system is now… We need stronger enforcement on the border and at the workplace… But for reform to work, we also must respond to what pulls people to America… Where we can reunite families, we should. Where we can bring in more foreign-born workers with the skills our economy needs, we should."

-- Barack Obama, Statement on U.S. Senate Floor
May 23, 2007

[QUOTE="noswear"][QUOTE="Ultimate-Playa"] Bush played dumb on purpose to serve the Americans who are naturally dumb. Bush is actually more intelligent and that will be shown when his papers are released. Because it's cool to bash Bush doesn't mean you're right.Ultimate-Playa

[QUOTE="Ultimate-Playa"][QUOTE="noswear"] First of all, I'm not bashing Bush, he was a reasonably good President. But 'playing dumb' is not something anyone is politics would ever, ever do. I'm not saying he's stupid, but you must admit that he made a few embarrasing gaffes throughout his career.

A shining example of your intelligence on the issue of immigration. It's bad to bring in more immigrants when we are in recession, when Americans are losing jobs. It is WRONG to bring in more immigrants when the US economy is not doing great and increases the amount of welfare recipients. I will be fine with immigration when our economy is doing good and jobs are plentiful and guess what? It's not right now.Ultimate-Playa

It's *wrong* to bring in skilled immigration, when the last time your Country was in recession, skilled immigration pulled you out of it and brought on an era of economic stability? Interesting viewpoint.

You also assume *skilled* immigration means *welfare* recipients? Seriously?

Heck, Obama was already a bad candidate when he sued banks on the behalf of ACORN to force them make subprime loans.

This did say that Jon was the co-author right? Also I don't know of a president in recent history who did not have others involved in preparing a speech including Kennedy and Reagan.
