Agree with you. I do choke somewhat when I need to refer to Clintoon as President Clintoon. Frankly, it galls me to even refer to him being prez.

Actually .. the proper reference when speaking ABOUT a former president, is to say "former President X".

However, when speaking to a former president in person, it is still proper to refer to him as just "President X".

Okay .. everybody got that!
