If President-elect Barack Obama's speeches sound like his campaign addresses, there will be a reason.
Jon Favreau, was director of speechwriting during the campaign, will be the chief speechwriter in the White House, Obama's office announced today
Favreau, who is from North Reading and graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 2003, has worked for Obama since February 2005, when he joined Obama’s Senate office. Favreau was deputy speechwriter for John F. Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.
