Obama speechwriter Favreau learns the perils of Facebook
Posted: 02:40 PM ET

This photo of Favreau and Clinton appeared on Facebook Friday.
(CNN) — Jon Favreau, future White House director of speechwriting, has so far been at a loss for words over Facebook pictures of him at a recent party.

Pictures of Favreau, 27, at a recent party appeared on Facebook Friday. In one of the photos, Favreau, who served as President-elect Barack Obama’s chief speechwriter during the campaign season, was dancing with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of future secretary of state Hillary Clinton. In a second photo, a friend was offering the cutout a bottle of beer while Favreau stood beside the likeness with his hand on the cardboard New York senator’s chest.

The picture was reportedly up for a scant two hours or so before Favreau removed it, along with every other picture of himself beyond his profile photo — but there’s no getting the Facebook genie back in the bottle.

Favreau wasn’t talking to reporters about the incident, but transition officials said he had offered an apology to Clinton.

The Clinton camp reaction? "Sen. Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon's obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application," Clinton aide Philippe Reines told the Washington Post.

Post Election Apathy

I can see that every one is kind of apathetic about these blogs now that the election is over and i'm glad i'm not the only one. No one seems to be commenting anymore and the stories about who Obama is choosing for his cabinet seem to be increasing. With all the craziness that inhabited the media and nation for that matter during this election it's hard to find excitement in writing about the days leading up to Obama's inauguration. Instead of finding myself reading stories on Obama's cabinet choices and which white house pup they will choose, I have been astonished by the events in Mumbai this last week. It is completely devastating the toll these terrorist attacks are taking. Maybe with all the election stuff settling down people can focus more on the World events that come to effect our nation just the same.

Economic Hope

In this hard economic time, President elect Obama is under a lot of pressure to assemble an intelligent resourceful team to meet the challenges of today. Here's an article that shares who has been chosen and who is still in the running for a place on the team.

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who lost out to New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner for the Treasury post, is expected to be the top economic adviser in the Obama White House, according to two sources close to the transition.
Lawrence Summers served as Treasury secretary under former President Bill Clinton.

Selection of the Obama economic team comes as President-elect Obama offers an outline of his economic recovery plan to create 2.5 million jobs by 2011. Obama, in the weekly Democratic address Saturday, said American workers will rebuild the nation's roads and bridges, modernize its schools and create more sources of alternative energy.

Summers, who served as Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, will be named chief of the National Economic Council by President-elect Barack Obama at an event in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday, the sources said.

Geithner's nomination to be Treasury secretary, the top economic post in the Cabinet, will also be officially announced at Monday's event, the sources said. Video Watch panelists weigh in on possible Cabinet choices »

The Obama transition team on Saturday announced several key appointments to his communications team.

Ellen Moran, the executive director of EMILY's List, will serve as Obama's communications director. Moran worked for the AFL-CIO, coordinating "Wal-Mart corporate accountability activities," before returning to EMILY's -- an organization dedicated to helping Democratic women get elected to office.

Robert Gibbs, an Obama campaign spokesman who also has acted as spokesman for the transition, will become Obama's press secretary -- one of the most highly visible roles in the administration.

Dan Pfeiffer, current communications director with the transition team, will be Obama's deputy communications director. He began work with the Obama campaign in January 2007 as traveling press secretary before returning to Chicago to work as communications director.

"These individuals will fill essential roles, and bring a breadth and depth of experience that can help our administration advance prosperity and security for the American people," Obama said in a written statement. "This dedicated and impressive group of public servants includes longtime advisors and a talented new addition to our team, and together we will work to serve our country and meet the challenges of this defining moment in history."


We need this!

He is the next President. Period.

I am so sick of receiving these nasty forwards about Obama being president and how the next four years will be filled with devastation and disaster. I recieved these texts after Tuesday night when the decision was final. I don't care if you necessarily agree or disagree with Obama, HE IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT of the United States and if our country is going to get through these troubled times it won't happen as a divided nation. It's time to come together.
