He does not pronounce it the way it's spelled, he is saying "pock" not "pak". That's 8th grade english.

Who cares about the way he pronounces it? My question is this... Shouldn't the U.S. be his FAVORITE country?

You do not always pronounce things they way they are spelled... that's something you should have learned in 8th grade English.

Can someone provide a link to where he said Pakistan is his favorite country. I'm having a hard time believing the President said that.
