oh yeah! the President

I have noticed a seemingly contagious problem amongst the news media. Most of them seem unable th say the word president prior to his name. They will call him MR. or Obama or Barack It is as if they just can't fix their mouths to say President Obama. Now this is not for all of the media but it is for far too many. After all even as long ago as it has been the title President still precedes the names of such as Kennedy, Lincoln, Truman,Bush(both of them),Johnson,Jackson,and on and on the list goes. Perhaps the reporters think that President Obama is just such a cool guy that they have simply thrown protocol out of the window and become drunk with the feeling of a kind of permanent 'casual Friday' calm. BUT I DON'T THINK SO! I think they should should get back in their places. They have yet to call Queen Elizabeth 'Bess or Lizzy' so enough is enough, cut it out. The name is President Obama.
