Obama Repeatedly Mispronounces Aung San Suu Kyi
White House Dossier ^ | November 19, 2012 | Keith Koffler

During his stop in Burma earlier today, President Obama repeatedly mispronounced the name of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Nobel laureate and former political prisoner who has led the struggle for a free and democratic Burma.,P.

From the Associated Press:

As Obama stood next to the world’s most recognized democracy icon, he mispronounced her name repeatedly.

Ever gracious, Suu Kyi did not correct her American guest for calling her Aung YAN Suu Kyi multiple times during his statement to reporters after their meeting.

Proper pronunciation for the Nobel laureate’s name is Ahng Sahn Soo Chee.

What’s more, Obama also botched the name of his official host, Burma’s reformist new president, Thein Sein.

We have in this president a disreputable, malicious, drug fiend fagot bent on the destruction of all that is good and sacred. Evil is defined by Barack. He is the quintesseitial demon among us. Any who doubt he is anti Christ have no understanding of Christ.

He didn’t mistakenly mipronounce anything. Democracy is such an anethema to that islamist that he would use it as code to pass a command to murder, rape and pillage at will to his fellow jihadis.

Ptuh! The damned jackal.
