It’s BARACK – BA’-ROCK – not “Brock”.
It’s Clin-Ton, not Clin-uhn (i’m guilty here)
It’s EAR-rock, not EYE-rack
It’s EAR-ron, not EYE-ran.
(those are easy to remember, think ears not eyes)
Bonus round: it’s Ahk-meh-din-i-jad. All together now… Ahk-meh-din-i-jad. Negative points will be issued for skipping syllables.
If we’re going to be living with these people for the next 8 years, we might as well get it right.

I must confess I have been saying Eye-rack, I stand corrected. Thank you.

How do you know those are the correct prononciations? I think Eyeran and Eyerock are the correct way to say those bad places.
