Jacob Rigg a man who claims to have been a speech writer for President Barack Obama of the United States, was unable to disprove allegations made by Katie Connelly on the blog of Newsweek, an American current affairs magazine.

Katie Connelly wrote in a blog, published on Monday, March 16th, 2009, that Rigg is: “a tax lobbyist who, according to the London Telegraph helped Favs [Jon Favreau, Obama’s speech writer] dish up some of the most memorable political lines of the last campaign from a flat in London’s trendy Notting Hill. Unlike Favs, it seems Riggs totally makes things up. Obama’s team has never heard of him.”

If Rigg did not work with Barack Obama’s campaign team and did not help write Obama’s speeches, then Rigg has duped quite a few people on the British side of the Atlantic including journalists and members of the Liberal Democratic Party.
