I don't think he was "attempting" anything. It's just something that happens when you're trying to fit in and relate to people who speak differently from you. Of course, Obama-haters will see things differently because they hate everything associated with him and will slam him no matter what he does.
I've lived in different parts of the country, and I've always adopted the local speaking patterns of wherever I've lived. It doesn't mean I'm a "tool"; it means I'm human.
You seriously believe that this thread deserves a well thought out, logical argument? The bickering comes naturally to some, they simply do not have a life. Remember the accent "problem" with Obama when he was able to say "Pakistan" as opposed to "Packistan"? Or, "Iraq" as opposed to "eye-rack"? Yes, these would be the same folks from the same boat that is still stuck in the mud.
I lived in Canada for 4 years, never did I adopt their accent.
It is completely contrived, manufactured phoniness by the master of fraud.
So, trying to have a conversation with people if it is in a language/accent they would understand is being phoney? A few years ago, I had a programmer from India who quoted 100K records as one lakh. He would have been a phoney to speak it in the terms I expected of him in America?
No, what is disgustingly phony is all the fake outrage over everything the president does or says. He went to Ireland and attempted an Irish accent. Big deal. What tourist traveling over there doesn't do that?
