Boston Globe: Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau - EASY POST & PROWL

[Speeches Favreau helped write] included Obama's pivotal address to the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Iowa.... : This party, the party of Jefferson and Jackson, of Roosevelt and Kennedy, has always made the biggest difference in the lives of American people, when we led, not by polls, but by principle; not by calculation, but by conviction. Also, his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention in Denver, and his election-night victory address in Chicago: If there is anyone out there. .

WP: [Favreau] Helping to write history

a minor celebrity [...] whose silly Facebook photos with a  Hillary Rodham Clinton cutout created what passes for controversy in Obama's so far drama-free transition. [....] At a party at his parents' house over Thanksgiving vacation, [Favreau] danced and posed awkwardly next to a cardboard cutout of Clinton. A buddy uploaded photos onto Facebook, reporters discovered them, and suddenly experts were debating Favreau's maturity on television. Favreau called Clinton and Obama to apologize. They told him not to worry, but he still does.

"Somebody please tell Barack Obama and crew he won"

But Obama's newly named and possibly endangered, misbehaving chief
White House speechwriter, Jon Favreau, is turning out words for him
that still sound like campaign stuff.
