That is more typical of the South. Rev. Jesse Jackson used to say it that way, although he's had some diction lessons somewhere along the line.

It seems like a southern accent. Could have been Arkansas or in that area.

It could be from just about anywhere, I have heard people from all over the country say it that way. I agree with the people who say it may be southern, but I have heard northern people say it that way as well.

That is how many African Americans pronounce it.
If its an accent of any kind, it probably originated in the American South.
