All he did was draw out a few words

He was a political science major and he’s a smart guy. IMO he was very obviously trying to give his speech emotion by using techniques that you hear every politician anywhere use. It sounded awkward and didn’t really hit the mark but he didn’t sound like he was trying to sound southern at all

It’s funny that Obama, from Chicago, was able to talk with what sounded like a ridiculously southern accent when he was on a roll and no one said a word but Coach Kelly is getting crucified for doing a mild version of the same thing
