Jon Favreau: Obama's Mind Reader Prepares for Congressional Address
By Kenneth T. Walsh
Posted February 23, 2009

Jon Favreau looks like he should be prepping for an exam in college, not writing a landmark address for the world's most powerful man. But the boyish, 27-year-old former Senate aide is the chief speechwriter for President Barack Obama, and he now faces one of the biggest challenges of his young life: writing Obama's first address to a joint session of Congress, scheduled for Tuesday.

As one of the youngest people ever to serve in his job, "Favs," as his friends call him, has had nearly unlimited access to Obama for the past two years as the speechwriter for his presidential campaign. At that time, Favreau lived with six friends in a Chicago house. Sometimes he went unshaven for days and turned to video games for relaxation and diversion. Now, working out of a small basement office in the White House, he's trying to develop a more settled approach to his work. He has upgraded his wardrobe from jeans and sweaters to jackets and ties and lives in a one-bedroom condo near Washington's fashionable Dupont Circle neighborhood.
