As much as I can't stand Obama, Obama gets an A in this area (when he isn't trying to affect the accent/cadence/etc. most accepted by the audience of a given speech/presentation ...something he does with far greater competence than Hillary). Giving #43 (GWB) a passing grade in this area would be generous at best.

Wasnt trying to be offensive there mate.

No offense ever taken. One of my male cousins gave me a daily calendar years ago that featured one Bush quote for each day. Some of the quotes were sort of 'cringe worthy', but I don't remember any of them influencing me to feel even slightly embarrassed to be an American....and I'm not a Bush 43 fan. I think he was one of the worst presidents in U.S. History. Despite his MANY failings/shortcomings, I do think he loves his country. I don't mind a Texas accent at all. I've never been to Hawaii nor Alaska, but I've been to every other state, and I think people here in the Houston area are generally very friendly and approach life with an attitude that allows them to be quite happy. Despite embracing the local accent, as an American, I feel if one wants to be the POTUS, one should pronounce 'Americans'....as well as the names of countries (I almost equally cant stand his 'eye-rack' and 'eye-ran')...correctly. I think Bush 43 easily possesses the linguistic ability to pronounce these words correctly. I imagine the desire from within just isn't there. As an American, I find three Bush 43 pronunciations in particular ('muricans, eye-rack, eye-ran), coming from a POTUS, to be an embarrassment.
