Obama's Accent and Palin's Face

Obama's mother is White, the wholesome White girl from midwest. His birth father is an African from Kenya. From socializing with my friends from Africa, I gathered that it is likely the father had an African accent. The parents divorced when he was three years old. He lived with his mother and maternal side of the family during his childhood in Hawaii. He then went to Columbia and Harvard. Most of the people hang out in these places would not speak with a Black accent. Now I am wondering when and where he got his current accent.

Accent and speech pattern tell a lot about a person. Obama ought not have this African American accent while growing up. Did he acquire his accent during the time in Chicago when he became politically ambitious? Margret Thatcher took an elocution lesson to rid her not-so-posh Linclonshire accent. I enjoy analyzing politician's speech, noticing how they use words and phrase to attract certain audience.

Talking about giving speeches, Palin struck me by being catering towards the dumb. Larry commented on how much popular Palin would be if she had a face of Madeleine Albright or Janet Reno. It is a disgrace that in this politically correct society of ours, disqualified women are sometimes being plucked up to the position and get away from scrutiny by being pretty and cute.
