Only 27 and he is already working in the white house as the director of speechwriting. Remember Obama’s excellent speeches throughout his campaign and his touching speech in inauguration? Obama’s speeches are catchy and powerful. He always uses a simple character or narrative to convey sophisticated ideas so that ordinary people can relate and understand. Its simple but bloody powerful.
To be honest, Obama caught my attention not because of the speeches he gave. It was simply the fact that he’s black! However, it was definitely his speeches that made me ‘follow’ him throughout the campiagn. I love to hear him speak.
“IN AWE”
That’s the word i will use to describe his speeches. In awe of Obama’s excellent delivery skill. In awe of how each word is so carefully selected. In awe of how simple his speeches can be, yet so powerful.
Of course, not everybody can be Jon Favreau. It takes a great GREAT amount of talent, intelligence, determination and (of course) some luck to be in the position that he is right now. But he is the perfect example for us, ‘the full of dreams’ 20-year-olds , to get our butt off the ‘day-dreaming chair’ and start working towards our ’seemingly impossible to reach’ dreams. =)

It’s Jon Favreau, not Joe.
