Obama and his Speech writers

By Martin English | January 14, 2008

How Obama’s speechwriters (who are under 30 btw) work with the candidate

“What I do is to sit with him for half an hour. He talks and I type everything he says. I reshape it, I write. He writes, he reshapes it. That’s how we get a finished product. It’s a great way to write speeches. A lot of times, you write something, you hand it in, it gets hacked by advisers, it gets to the candidate and then it gets sent back to you. This is a much more intimate way to work.”
