Jon Favreau

AGE: 27
OCCUPATION: White House speechwriter
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0

PRO: While many political scribes his age are groveling for a Huffington Post link, Favreau works day to day with one of the most skilled rhetoricians in history.

CON: Obama will always get the credit. And we're guessing he just loves to rewrite.
