Are you people offended when fox news just call him Obama, with no title? I call our Canadian prime minister a lot of things, and none of them are good....lol

In our society, whether the president is referred to by his title or mister, either is proper. Personally, I always refer to the former occupant of the White house as "Boy George."

Yes I refer to him as Mr Obama, He hasn't done anything to earn my respect for me to acknowledge him as anything else.

I suppose my opinion would depend on who it was who said it.
If it was a known Obama basher, I'd assume the worst.

I sent an angry email to NPR a while ago because their correspondent kept referring to him as "Mr." Obama....their reply was that this was standard usage. They have always referred to any President as "President So and So" at the beginning of a report, and every reference to him in that same report uses the "Mr." I checked and it is true. They did it for every President.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/ombudsman/2009/12/why_do_you_call_him_mr_obama.html
Now, this does not cover the issue of usage when addressing the President directly. I can't imagine anyone calling him Mr. to his face....that would sound disrespectful to my ears too.

the presidency has lost a lot of it's former clout and respectability. After seeing so many clowns elected to that office, it's hard to be respectful to weasels

. The proper term of address would have been "Mr. President". Hopefully it was just an error. I've heard news people make worse mistakes.
