Favreau's digits printed by Post

Can I get your number?

Thanks to a photo printed by the Washington Post, President Barack Obama’s speechwriter may now have to change his cell phone number.
 
Jon Favreau’s phone number can be clearly made out in a picture the Post chose for their Op-Ed page on Friday, which depicts President Obama making his remarks to Congress on Tuesday. Taken by a Reuters photographer from above, you see Obama reading from the first page of the address — and clearly printed is:  “Draft 2/24/09 12pm…Favreau/Rhodes….6-1334 | 312-805-xxxx." (Number redacted.)
 
We at Yeas & Nays tried the number and can confirm it is his number (we got his voicemail). This may excite a lot of the women around town, but we heard he's taken by White House aide (and Maxim model) Ali Campoverdi.

Looks like a typical Liberal weenie to me. Obama's speeches suck. Now we know why. I like the Obama haircut. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

Feb 27, 2009

I think candidates should have to write their own speeches from now on. Substance over style

 

Feb 27, 2009

and this is a problem why? Media doesn't mind giving out name and addresses of concealed weapon permit holders. Why not provide the cell phone numbers for public officials on the public dole.

couldn't care less about the phone number for this hard-shoe geek, the guy responsible for writing obama's sappy cloying speeches. gimme the number of the guy who READ the stimulus bill for him, cuz it's obvious obama never read it himself.

Moderators might be able to delete postings of his #, but they still appear on google search results summary.

He should be taken (or abducted) by aliens.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Typical liberal loser....who would call him anyway? Unless you were an Obama supporter in need of a handout.

 

Feb 27, 2009

the head turd's nerd.

 

Feb 27, 2009

I thought Obama wrote all his own speeches. You know, in the time between saving the world, parting the seas, and walking on water. Still trying to figure out who the real puppeteers are behind our Manchurian-candidate-turned-president.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Someone should text him and ask him to not use so many ummmm's and uhhhh's in the speeches he writes for B. Hussein Obama.

 

Feb 27, 2009

and I thought Obama wrote all of his great speeches. what a let-down !

 

Feb 27, 2009

The bourgeise, which are the current government and the current media and many of the corporate CEO's do not want us, the proletariat to have any useful information that might be used to sway opinions as we see them. They do not trust the unwashed or our opinions, and do not want us to ever get too close to the power structure they all wish to protect. Threr is no reason not to publish the number in a republic. They choose to keep the number for themselves, so only their opinion will have any impact. The rest of you are just shumps, and many of you will never realize it. That is what they are counting on.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Huh... a Maxim model, eh? And all this time I thought he was gay.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Somebody needs to tell him that the automobile was NOT invented in the U.S.

 

Feb 27, 2009

The Maxim girl holds his hand so you don't know he is really dating Obama. They even have matching hair cuts!!!

POLITICAN PARTISAN PROPAGANDA PUPPET...PATHETIC. Jeffrey Schrembs, American Citizen

 

Feb 27, 2009

Well, this is the guy who basically wrote the 'brilliance' what was put onto the teleprompter which Obama reads from (nobody can recall a brilliant thing Obama said which was impromptu other than 'spreading the wealth'). And a NY Fox station put Karl Roves cell phone number out, so.... Just say 'oops' and move along like Dianne Feinstein did after she revealed a secret base we had in Pakistan that it took us five years to establish and we were protected Pakistani leaders from having to confess to. Or you could put a caption to the picture like "This Is What Obamas' Brain Looks Like (As a Metrosexual)". And why not refer to him as Deval Patricks speechwriter? It's the same guy and the same speeches. I guess nobody cares since Deval Patrick isn't going to pay your mortgage for you...

 

Feb 27, 2009

His number is 312-805-7077

 

Feb 27, 2009

And what exactly does a "Liberal Weenie" look like to you? Sounds to me like you need some hateraid.

 

Feb 27, 2009

When is the last time this guy paid any taxes?

 

Feb 27, 2009

Someone should call him with a suggestion for Obama's next speach. It should start out.."For the good of this nation, I hereby resign".

 

Feb 27, 2009

Obama has a speech writer? For what? There all just plagiarisms of Joseph Goebbels work.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Hey, there is an echo in here

 

Feb 27, 2009

I like to talk about stool.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Somebody should call this dumb-a**, and tell him America did NOT invent the automobile, as he wrote in Obama's quasi "state of the union" speech Tuesday. Unless, of course, he thinks Karl Benz was an American.

 

Feb 27, 2009

This little speech-writer is missing out on a great opportunity...he just might be a great writer of fiction since it seems that facts are not part of his toolbox. And isn't it just the cutest thing how he and Obama appear that they must go to the same hairstylist...I mean barber.

 

Feb 27, 2009

Didn't know the Examiner had so many jealous gay Republican avid readers.

 

Feb 27, 2009

good speech writer....so bad what obama says and does are 2 different things

 

Feb 28, 2009

If Obama had to write his own speeches he would have never been elected! He has the eloquent rhetoric but that's it he's an empty vessel.

 

Feb 28, 2009

Anyone see the latest economy numbers? All together now: Way to Go N*gger! Way to GO!

Joe - It is interesting that the liberal speech writer is a young man who probably never had a real job or business where he put up the money for an idea that was his alone and hired people to work for him. His idea of a business then flurished and so he expanded more, making more money for himself, PAYING more in taxes, and hiring more people to work for his idea / company who also pay taxes. Then, out of nowhere comes a new tax man that not only ups his taxes, but then lowers the income. Then he has to lay off some workers lowering his income, lowers his taxes, etc. Because of this tremendous inexperience it is easy for this young inexperienced ideolog to spend other people's money as he has never had any himself so he feels no pain...why should anyone else??

 

Feb 28, 2009

How abot stop writing speechs. Every time obama opens his yap the stock market takes a dump.

 

Feb 28, 2009

What is with the negative comments about liberals and the quality of Obama's speeches? They have nothing to do with the article and there are more important issues going on in the world.

 

Mar 12, 2009

So many bitter & sad people! - first can't accept President Barack Obama won the election, so to try and score points and be petty they attack talented Jon Favreau!
