Twang What?

"Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday she sees her sometimes Southern accent as a virtue.

'I think America is ready for a multilingual president,' Clinton said during a campaign stop at a charter school in Greenville, S.C.

The New York senator—who said she's been thinking about critics who've suggested that she tried to put on a fake Southern accent in Selma, Ala.—noted that she's split her life between Arkansas, Illinois and the East Coast."

How do you get a southern accent when you weren't even born there? OR grew up there? Just because you want to black voters doesn't mean you have to put on a fake southern accent.
