There is no default United States accent.

I know there isn't an official one, but when the OP said "By american accent I mean the Midwestern columbus ohio middle class type" he tried to choose one that represents American accent "best" to a foreigner.

Can you name someone who does have what you think of as a typical accent? Maybe Obama?

Obama is fairly close, but I dont know how to discribe the sounds, but his "R"'s maybe are a bit too emphasized/intonated, and some other sounds too.

Off the top of my head I'd say Keanu Reeves.
