Obami's team must have told him to pronounce every country and leader as they want it pronounced, eg Pokiston, EERan, etc... in the mistaken impression it will impress Americans. What impresses Americans is someone that knows all the players in the world and has BEEN EVERYWHERE!
For being sold as the SMARTEST MAN AMERICA HAS EVER KNOWN!!!, Obama came off as an unprepared moron tonite...
It was ALL talking points, with no actual IDEAS...
