I was impressed with Obama’s speech from yesterday. As Mira and I got to talk about it, she assumed his speeches would be written by a professional speech writer. I wasn’t so sure, since he is a speech master himself – it has been one of his landmarks, so I figured he’d not leave it to somebody else and would be involved personally. I happened to cross Paul Abspoel’s post <\/a>and comments on this, and through that found out about the interesting fact that a 27 year old guy is his senior writer. I found another article, basically saying we both are right \ud83d\ude42 and describing how a speech like yesterday came to be. Read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update 27\/1: VPRO aired a documentary last night on this same topic, and how Obama is in touch with the ‘Millennials Generation’ (born after ’82). Fascinating, although less about Favreau than expected. Watch it here<\/a> (in Dutch with large portions of English).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
