Roy Blagojevich’s last name sounds very foreign. When I looked at his name his name I guessed maybe he was of Russian descent. In the description that the audio gave, it said that he even joked saying his last name was hard to pronounce. I was so interested to find out what was his heritage that I looked him up on Google and found out that his father was from Serbia but he was born in Chicago. I like foreign names so I thought it was cool the way you pronounce his last name. I didn’t know who he was until this week when I listened to the news and heard he was in some kind of scandal that deal with corruption. Then I read an article and found out that he wanted to sell Barack Obama’s seat in the Senate. He was arrested for this but left jail later. What he did was incorrect and there should be a punishment for it, he should resign. It’s very lamentable what he did. Hopefully he does the right thing.

His name is everywhere because of his federal crime. The way he pronounced his name is really funny from the audio that was given with the link. It's funny to me how his first name is only three letters and really easy to pronounce while his late name is the opposite. There are many people that have names like that. At least his name is nothing that sounds inappropriate.

I have never seen or heard a last name like that. I was trying to pronounce it but i couldn't i would get stuck it was funny. But when i heard the audio it was more funny because it seem that he couldnt pronounce his own name. I hope he and other people can learn how to pronounce that name. And that he doesnt commit another crime.
