One of the young wordsmiths behind President Obamas oratory is leaving the administration, a crack in a close-knit speechwriting team that helped propel Obama to the White House and has played a major role in shaping his words ever since.
Adam Frankel is leaving to become executive director of Digital Promise, a new nonprofit group that will explore ways technology can be used to strengthen education.
I worked with the president on a lot of his education speeches, Frankel said in an interview Friday. So I was thinking about what I want to do and I realized that I wanted to see if I could have some kind of impact in education.
Frankel, 30, was part of the original core of campaign wunderkinds led by Jon Favreau and Ben Rhodes who toiled on speeches as Obama slogged his way past Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries. Today is his last day.
At the White House, Frankels forte was speeches that involved issues of morality and history. When Obama would be called on to give a eulogy, the assignment often fell to Frankel.

Like "take off your bedroom slippers", not "take off your $200 kicks."
“Mr. Frankel is smart enough to know he should jump from the sinking ship before the rest of the rat pack drowns November 2012.”
Well Axelrod as much as told him they were aboard the Titanic. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going to happen next.
Explore ways technology can be used to strengthen education.
In other words, gotta work on brainwashing kids faster to become better commies.
Another Soros funded org.
This time the propaganda is aimed at educational institutions. As Michelle Obama said, we need to rewrite our history.
“Libs love working for non-profits as long as they get their six-figure salaries.”
Libs love “public interest” and “government service” jobs. This makes them feel special and caring while at the same time they are pulling down big salaries that allow them to do all the elistist, chic, and avant garde things liberals love to do to set themselves apart from the unwashed masses.
This must be the easiest job in the world. He’s been giving the same speech for 3 years now. The teleprompter is worn out.
Is he taking the “teleprompter” with him?
Look where he’s going! A non-profit. This guy is headed to oblivion where he belongs.
The 20 something little prince who misquoted the Bible in TOTUS speeches.

He’ll be taking the intercontinental railroad I suppose.
So Barry needed to show how popular he is by falsifying the
huge turnout for him?
Next you’ll tell me that there’s no Santa.
Good, I’ll ask again for the pony I never received.
You’re right, I’ll ask for world peace instead.
Did you know Barky's alleged "mind reader" Jon is afraid of flying? He won't get on Air Force One, ever. Does Mantoinette ever fly with Barky? Hillary has them all spooked.
