I AGREE that it should be "President Bush" -- but also that it should have been "President Clinton" as well as "President Bush" (sr) and "President Carter." What happens is that in modern US politics one side only wants the "President" applied to "their" president, which they insist is everyone's -- as it SHOULD BE regardless of policy differences. But it's the same old/new hypocrisy in play: President Clinton was always "Clinton" to the cheerleaders in the GOP just as President Bush is always "Bush" to the cheerleaders in the US.
It's wasted time discussing it -- because it's not a principle each side applies to the other. They just want to shove the word "President" down the other side's throat -- when if we all TRULY respected the office we would realize that whomever holds it IS the "President" and deserves that title.
