For some reason the President of the US, among many, many others, seem only able to pronounce them as "joolery" and "noocular." To me it indicates a lack of professionalism.

Doesn't strike me as unprofessional at all.

If you take six people from all corners of the country from New England, The South/Florida, Northwest, Southern California, and the Midwestern Breadbasket states, you'll get six completely different pronunciations.

It is chiefly a matter of regional accents and pronunciation styles. Who's to say a certain region's is "right" or "wrong"?

Sorry to say, you're being more than a little regionally biased.

saying joolery I don't have much of a problem with because it sounds at least a little similar. Saying noocular gets to me a bit. It's not even close!

I guess the Pres. keeps on keepin' on because if he changes the way he pronounces it, then he'd be admitting he either made a mistake or didn't know the proper pronunciation, therefore, well that's not too bright. I can understand that though.
