Obama's accent is definitely straight middle-American, but his manner of speaking is very distinct, and unique.

A Kenyan brogue?

Obama has had speaking training...quite a bit of it and knows how to kind of hypnotize thru speech with that odd “s” sounding lisp he closes so many sentence fragments with...

there is a name for that sort of thing....something about constant consonant emphasis pattern

he lulls folks into being mesmerized without actually listening which is good since he only meanders from platitude to platitude in public....in private off the microphone he sounds sharper and less mono tonal and more abrupt and unscripted....”kanye is a jackass”...that sort of thing

remember in school when occasionally someone would speak and it felt good to listen to them and made you relax?

Obama’s voice and speech pattern does that to folks who are not ideologically inoculated and it must work wonders on fellow travelers
