So I guess we need to elect someone who mispronounces everything 9_9

Interesting article. It’s a challenge from Obama’s left.

Wolfe suspects the effort to quell his presidential campaign may be coming from Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. During a recent encounter with Wasserman Schultz in Chattanooga, Wolfe says the two got into an argument about the rights for Tennessee farmers to sell their goods to Cuba. But Wolfe says he’s never heard from the national party or the Obama campaign.

Wolfe has been critical of Obama for being tied too closely with Wall Street interests and not pursuing a more forthrightly liberal agenda, like a single-payer health care system that Wolfe (and other Democrats, he says) prefer to Obamacare. And he criticizes the president’s style. “He doesn’t like to be challenged,” he says. “Strong people don’t mind dissent.”

A lawyer from Chattanooga, Wolfe speaks in a Southern drawl, and says Obama and national Democrats don’t want to acknowledge that there are members of the party like him.

“He says ‘Chil-ay’ and “Pah-kee-stahn’,” Wolfe says, emphasizing Obama’s pronunciations of Chile and Pakistan. “I say ‘Chil-ee’ and ‘Pack-a-stan.’ They like a person who talks like them.”

And if he’s right, I can’t see any reason for the democrat party to prevent him from winning delegates.
