This is where you started the Obama defense:

“Actually Obama is using the correct pronunciation for “Pakistan” ...”

Now:

“Obama’s pronunciation is closer to that which Pakistanis use even if not native-speaker correct.”

Just for the record.

Obama's pronunciation sounds to me like Pakistanis' own pronunciation for their country's name. Another poster claimed it wasn't quite the same. I think they're the same, but it's possible this other poster detects some subtle difference, so I threw in the qualification. So?
