I think this guy is a good choice for Obama. If you want to reach the up and coming generation you employ one of their own to help. Its a good move, not to mention the guy consulted with Peggy Noonan who wrote Regan's speeches. Obama certainly has poised himself, so far, to go down in history as a great speaker.

the article is way to long for the clip so go check it out.

During the campaign, the buzz-cut 27-year-old at the corner table helped write and edit some of the most memorable speeches of any recent presidential candidate. When Obama moves to the <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/The+White+House?tid=informline">White House</A> next month, Favreau will join his staff as the youngest person ever to be selected as chief speechwriter. He helps shape almost every word Obama says, yet the two men have formed a concert so harmonized that Favreau's own voice disappears.

"He looks like he's in college and everybody calls him Favs, so you're like, 'This guy can't be for real, right?' " said Ben Rhodes, another Obama speechwriter. "But it doesn't take long to realize that he's totally synced up with Obama. . . . He has access to everything and everybody. There's a lot weighing on his shoulders."
