It's not that they can't say Ls, it's just that they don't have an L or an R but rather something in-between that usually sounds more like an R than an L and so that's how it's rendered in English/Roman letters. So they would potentially actually say Barack more like Balack but I'd guess it'd be like Baalack rather than B'lack.

Technically, they have R just no L. The in-between could be more katakana specific though, but usually that's R instead of L or in-between too. If it already has an R in it, they're not going to change how they pronounce it.
Barack says hope, then there is hope. A republican says hope, you say oh hell nope!! cause it was republicans that got the country in the mess it is in >.<
