Jon Favreau writes the speeches, NOT Barack Obama
November 26th, 2008 · No Comments
Looks like Jon Favreau is the screenwriter of the fictional movie known as “Barack Obama”:

While legend has it that Mr. Obama writes his own speeches longhand on a legal pad, a better historical account will show that he offers input and Mr. Favreau crafts them.

Mr. Favreau, a 2003 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., began his writing career for Senator John Kerry’s presidential campaign. He is moving from Chicago to Washington.

You have to laugh at the pundits and Obama cultists that get all giddy about a particular speech delivered by Obama. Just like all politicians, Barack Obama does not write his own speeches, so what are you cheering, you are cheering an actor. Basically Obama delivers his speeches well, maybe Obama should have won an Academy Award, not the Presidency.

Whenever you read that a President, candidate, or politician has been up all night crafting an important speech, don’t believe it, a total lie. The media tried implying that Obama wrote his landmark Philadelphia “I did not have religious relations with that man, Mr. Wright” speech on race, or his Berlin “Toy Soldier Tour” speech, or his Denver “Greek Temple - Cult of Personality” speech.

Nonsense, Obama did not write any of them. Here is a pic of the man behind Obama’s words:

We are not talking about the Hollywood Jon Favreau, the man behind the movie “Swingers” and “Iron Man”, although we are talking about the same concept, inventing a fictional character.

I’m not even sure that Obama knows how to write.

1) There’s pretty good evidence that Bill Ayres ghost wrote Obama’s books.
2) His Columbia University thesis has not been released to the public.
3) He was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review but never wrote an article.
4) He sponsored legislation in the Illinois Senate, but never authored anything. Other legislators wrote his bills, who were then instructed to put Obama’s name on them.

Landesman is a hand-picked Obama bootlicker of the first order, in addition to being an idiot. Poor thing.

Lincoln wrote his speeches and compiled the written record of his debates with Douglas. No books written by Abe.

U.S. Grant wrote his autobiography, T.R. wrote, Wilson, Hoover, then the JFK "Profiles in Courage". Billl Ayers wrote Obama's "book", and the publishing company was ready to cancel the contract because it was taking too long.

... The condition of affairs , as he saw, was critical indeed, and there was no support that could be sent up. Taking therefore a shield from a soldier of the rearmost ranks, as he himself was come thither without a shield, he went forward into the first line, and, calling on the centurions by name, and cheering on the rank and file, he bade them advance and extend the companies, that they might ply swords more easily. His coming brought hope to the troops and renewed their spirit; each man of his own accord, in sight of the commander-in-chief, desperate as his own case might be, was fain to do his utmost. So the onslaught of the enemy was checked a little.

Gallic War, Book II

Whoah, brother. Do you speak Latin or did you look all that up? If so, what’s the most effective way to learn Latin. I have heard that if one learns Latin the other romance languages are easy to pick up.

Julius Caeser huh? History tells us he was a dictator as well, did many undesirable things while in rule..... yes I can see the resemblance.... don’t think this is what the idiot at NEA wanted one to see though.

LOL. Not exactly veni, vidi, vici.

This comparison to Julius Caesar is right up there with the Nobel Peace Prize bs.

Five years of Latin in prep school. But that’s a takeoff on the opening sentence of Caesar’s Gallic Wars.

Barack Obama? Is he the guy who wrote about Walter Mitty?

Embarrassing - I think he meant Shakespeare, not Julius Caesar, who uttered the line “Et tu, Brute”, in a Shakespeare play.

So what do you think would be the quickest and most effective way to pick it up?
