Barack Obama – handwritten speech

Dec. 9, 2009
ÒThe day we were leaving for Oslo, the PresidentÕs first meeting of the morning was with his speechwriting team. He said he had stayed up most of the night writing. I was surprised to see that he had handwritten the entire speech so I made a few close-up pictures as he went over the speech with his aides in the Oval Office.Ó
