I've been noticing lately he has reverted to dropping his 'r's. "I've seen it befo'." This type of thing.

It's disgusting.

Has anybody else noticed?

Actually, this has been noticed before.

Senator Reid is quoted in a new book by two journalists about the 2008 campaign, “Game Change,” as saying privately that the US would be “ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama – a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.’

Well, he already has his black base fooled, so why adopt it again? It's very noticeable to me.

sorry, y'all doesnt have anything to do with white trailer trash, white trailer trash is usually in urban areas. we who consider themselves rednecks because we work on farms and such say y'all because of how we were raised, not because of some political hack and their trash talking.

I don't listen to him speak but everything I read has the correct English grammar when they quote him.

For the same reason Ann Romney reverted to Oprah-speak. "I love you WOMENNNN!"

Most people in the political world want their audiences to think they can relate to them.

What's funny is that that lingo is more and more common amongst middle class white kids.
Not funny at all if you're trying to teach them standard english.
