This is just Americans pronouncing the name in
good American English. Frankly, I've heard
Hussein say "America" in Arabic enough times to
know he's not saying it like an American would.
Frankly, I don't care - he speaks Arabic and can
jolly well say "America" however it fits his
phonology and accentuation systems. We should not
be expected to do more with /ajr&k/.
