Obama has a phony, ‘prep-school’, accent in his speaking voice. Trump, despite his ‘rich guy’ persona, has a very real and very american regional accent, which any New Yorker knows is the ‘Long Island’ accent, which includes the Queens accent, but not the Brooklyn accent. This is a very difficult to fake for foreign speaker. In any case, it means that Trump had early education in a the New York City school system, where most students are working class.
Thx MD. I latch-on to dialects/accents, and thus appreciate the NY analysis. And so correct about Obama....preppy-fake until...until he's talking to a black group and then he slips into a mild black dialect.
That’s because Obama was a prep school student raised almost completely by his rich white grandparents in Hawaii. He probably never met a black person from the guetto until he went to college. Obama was always a rich elitist with comtempt and derision for common Americans, especially white middle class people “clinging to their God, their guns” and their patriotism. Obama is a complete fraud.
Yes, he went to an elite private school in Hawaii and an elite private school in Indonesia after his mother married an Indonesian govt official. Then he had the gaul to market himself as a man of the people.
He went to a catholic school and public school (for government employees) in Indonesia. He earned a scholarship to attend a public school in hawaii as his grandparents were poor.
Re Indonesia: two schools— first is Besuki school, second Catholic St. Francis of Assisi
“The school was founded in 1934 as Carpentier Alting Stichting Nassau School (CAS)[1] by the Dutch colonial administration and was reserved for Dutch children and children of the Indonesian nobility. The Indonesian government took over administration of the school in 1962, and has since been run by the Raden Saleh Foundation.
Notable former students include the children of Bambang Trihatmodjo, son of former president Suharto, the grandchildren of former vice presidents Hamzah Haz and Try Sutrisno, as well as the dutch author Tonke Dragt. In 1970–71, US President Barack Obama attended the school for one and a half years.[2]”
“President Obama attended St. Francis of Assisi school, a Roman-Catholic school in Jakarta, for nearly three years while he lived in Indonesia, but most of the public attention about that time period has fallen on Besuki school, a rival Muslim school the president also attended briefly.”
I found this — says Obama’s fam is middle class, not poor. Also interesting about the transgender cook.
“Obama's mother met a transgender person named Evie (who was known as Trudi at the time), at a cocktail party in 1969. Dunham was so impressed by Evie's beef steak and fried rice that she offered her a job in the family home. It did not take long before Evie was also caretaker for then eight-year-old "Barry", as Obama was often referred to as then, and his baby sister Maya. As a caretaker, she also spent time playing with Obama and bringing him to and from school, which she continued to do for about two years.[25]
In 1970, Soetoro took a new job at higher pay in Union Oil Company's government relations office.[4][22][26][27][28][29] From January 1970 to August 1972, Obama's mother taught English and was a department head and a director of the Institute of Management Education and Development.[24] Obama attended the Indonesian-language government-run Besuki School, one-and-half miles east in the exclusive Menteng administrative village, for part of 3rd grade and for 4th grade. By this time, he had picked up on some Indonesian in addition to his native English.[22]He also joined the Cub Scouts.[30]
In his memoir Obama describes his experiences growing up in his mother's middle class family.”
“When he was 10 years of age, his mother shipped him back from Indonesia to his grandparents in Hawaii so that young Barack could get a first-class American education. He entered Punahou, the expensive and most prestigious prep school in the islands. From there, despite his admittedly indifferent grades, Obama was admitted to Occidental, an elite private college in Los Angeles. He spent two years there, after which he transferred to Columbia University, one of the private Ivy League schools. After Columbia, Obama attended Harvard Law, another private Ivy League school.”
“Punahou occupies a privileged position, not just on the hillside, but in Hawaii society. In his memoir, Dreams From My Father,Barack Obama recalled how his grandfather pulled strings to get him in.”
And now Biden puts the shive into Israel, and favors Hamas. How much bribe money does Biden take from Iran now? Are you ready for Sharia law? I am not.
Obama's grandfather was a furniture salesman, i.e. an Al Bundy. If Obama had contempt for the middle class growing up it was because his family was working class. You're complete ignorance is overwhelming.
“The family then moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, where Dunham found a better furniture store opportunity. Madelyn Dunham started working at the Bank of Hawaii in 1960, and was promoted as one of the bank's first female vice presidents in 1970.[15][16]”
His grandmother was a bank president. I don’t think they were poor. You said he got a scholarship to Punahou but I quoted above that Obama himself said his grandfather pulled strings to get him admitted. Any sources for the info you are posting? (Edit: in the Wikipedia entry for Madelyn Dunham—Obama’s grandmother—it says he got scholarships for Punahou’s tuition. You were right about that but his fam in Hawaii were not poor— Madelyn was a vice president for a Seattle bank before they moved to Hawaii and Stanley was the manager of a furniture store.)

Bullshit,

While I was saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America, BarrySoetoro was at Besuki School, Menteng, Indonesia.
Where he learned the most beautiful sound he ever heard before….
The muslim call to prayer.
I’ve stayed in Old Town Jerusalem inside the wall a few times. I find that sound blood curdling and creepy.
Re Hawaii—Punahou:
“When he was 10 years of age, his mother shipped him back from Indonesia to his grandparents in Hawaii so that young Barack could get a first-class American education. He entered Punahou, the expensive and most prestigious prep school in the islands. From there, despite his admittedly indifferent grades, Obama was admitted to Occidental, an elite private college in Los Angeles.

So he's clearly a 'man of the people'. Just ask anyone in the media.
And now Biden puts the shive into Israel, and favors Hamas. How much bribe money does Biden take from Iran now? Are you ready for Sharia law? I am not.

I’m not from NY, but I thought Trump talks like a NY construction boss.
Trump never attended a public school in his life. How does someone become as ignorant as you?
How did he get that accent then? You are obviously not a New Yorker, because it can’t be faked except by a professional grade actor.
You are posting misinformation. Sounds pretty ignorant to me to do that.
