It's President Bush Not Mr. Bush
To the owners, editors, producers and broadcasters at NBC:
The correct way to refer to the President of the United States of America is....
Drum roll please......
Wait for it....
PRESIDENT Bush.
I know this may come as a shock to all of you at NBC but the title President of the United States is not only the most powerful on Earth it is also the most recognizable.
If I had a nickel for every time some moron at NBC referred to President Bush as Mr. Bush I'd be rich. I am sure that you would be quick to correct other media outlets if they referred to someone within your organization incorrectly.
President is not only a powerful title; it is also one that President Bush earned. He solidified that right with his history making popular vote.
In the future please keep in mind that Americans are not bumbling idiots and we do catch your efforts to undermine the status of those you do not agree with.
And since we are talking about titles:
SSgt Slagle Out!
Son.Add me to the list of morons.I didn't not vote for Bush and I refuse to address him as President!I will not insult the great men who have done the office of president true honor.
The dignity of that office and this great country,has been disgraced by BUSH!!
Dad,
I would never consider you a moron, however I am a bit saddened to think that you "refuse" to call him PRESIDENT. He is the elected President of the United States. I have worked for senior officers that I disliked or disagreed with but I still called them Sir or addressed them by the rank they earned.
While you are no longer in the military you still have an obligation as an American to respect the title.
In any kind of written format I always referred to President Clinton as such while he was in office.
You are an honorable man and you have two more children to mold. They need to know that it is a duty to support the President even if you don't like him.
To me it is like supporting the troops. You don't have to like what they do or the wars they fight but as representative of this country all Americans have a duty to support them.
SlagleRock Out!
