Now THAT was weird, to hear Marbury speak. Like, he does the Englishy pronunciation of "BARE-ick Obama" and all that. For over a year now I've been reading up on U.S. politics here and I guess hearing the words inside my head in my own Mid-Atlantic U.S. accent ("Ba-ROCK Obama"), so I sort of forget that all of these bits of analysis are actually written by a Red Coat. It's surprisingly odd to hear the words brought to life like this!
