Obama and the Maxim Girl

What did Ricky say to Lucy - you have a lot of splainin to do. Or to rephrase it for this moment - something is a bit odd about this story. Just a little bit odd.







Obama's 27-year-old whizz kid speechwriter 'dating former Maxim model who is now a White House aide'

He is said to work 16 hours a day and and was unable to get a date during the presidential campaign.

But now Barack Obama's 27-year-old speechwriter, Jon Favreau, is dating a former Maxim model and actress who is working with him at the White House.

Ali Campoverdi stripped off for Maxim in 2004 - and told the men's magazine that she was looking for a man who was 'passionate' about something.

'I don’t care if it’s your job or your hobby or your shoes,' she said at the time. 'Something has to make you tick; something has to make you move.'

Ms Campoverdi is now an aide to a White House deputy chief of staff, American media outlets said.

But she has previously appeared American reality shows - including the dating show For Love or Money, where she was a 'million-dollar girl'.

The California native also appeared as a vampire hunted by Keanu Reeves in Constantine and was a finalist for the American version of The Apprentice with Donald Trump.

The relationship is evidence of Mr Favreau's newfound status as a political sex symbol - but during Mr Obama's presidential run, he was not so lucky.

Talking to the New York Times last year, Mr Favreau observed somewhat dryly that 'the rigours of this campaign have prevented any sort of serious relationship.'
