Has anyone noticed that all the major news stations ( Fox, CNN, MSNBC) refer to the new POTUS as Mr. Obama??

I find it rather interesting that the liberal media that helpped him get the office, refuse to aknowledge him as such.

Oh yea, FUCK HIM and the AROCK he rode in on........

I noticed they started doing it with President Bush, but expected them to go back when The Chosen One was sworn in. I'm sure I heard some calling him President Obama in late December.

Anyway, in my opinion respect must be earned. I'll only call him "president" with a touch of sarcasm in my voice.

But, to the point, I've been getting my news online for a while now and really not paying attention to how they address the messiah.

I think it's part of the AP guidelines.

I noticed they often said "Mr. Bush" and "President Clinton" a lot during Bush's first 4 years.
