Barack Obama, a stickler for pronounciation: Politico

DateFriday, July 3, 2009 at 7:18AM

Quoted via Politico:

Bill Clinton, George Bush. Jimmy Carter. They’re all pretty easy to pronounce.

But Barack Obama is not so simple. And before he was world famous, people regularly butchered his African name (Bay-rack anyone?). As president, Barack Obama takes care to get pronunciations correct— from heads of state and foreign nations to the director of a small nonprofit in Jersey City.

The text of Obama’s daily briefings includes phonetic spellings of names and places, or the person briefing him will coach him how to say them. Phonetic spellings are also there in Obama’s prepared remarks— although that doesn’t always mean the words wind up rolling off his tongue. more
