President Obama, Editor in Chief
President Obama’s edits on speechwriter Jon Favreau’s draft of a health care speech.
“A photo like this is thrilling, gratifying and also terribly frightening to anyone who delivers his or her own writing to an editor. (Or a group of editors.) I wonder how this picture makes other people feel. I see it and feel a swelling of pride—not in the president so much as in the hard work that goes into good writing.” —Hank Stuever, Washington Post
