Obama's Little Boy Speechwriter Has Name of Famous Actor

Most people remember Jon Favreau from the oft-quoted casino film Swingers . As it happens, Jon Favreau is also famous for being another human -- a 26-year-old major speechwriter for Barry Obama. And he loves playing the race card, but only subtly , see. As he told the New York Times ' Ashley Parker, "There were many months during the campaign when they said he'd never win. And of course there was the day that would never come, when an African American would be winning the first primary in a white state." But can Barry win in the 30 or 40 other states that have a black majority? [ NYT ]
