Has anyone noticed how Barry never uses “an” before a word starting with a vowel? Drives me nuts. “I had A uncle...” “I spoke with A Army general...”

College graduate Michelle Ma Belle, consistently says “Me and Barack”....drives me crazy! It feels like she is talking down to her audience as even a third grader knows the ‘me and..’ rule.
