"Is is just my imagination, or, prior to the Slickster, were all former presidents addressed as "Former President"? It really grates on my ears when they say "President Clinton"!"

No, I don't think it is your imagination. Chaps my hide too when I hear them (MSM talking heads)call him President. But we should have seen it coming. Remember after President Bush's inauguration, Clinton just couldn't leave town without doing a Pass & Review of the troops....that weren't even his anymore BTW!

I was taught that you always refer to presidents as "President Clinton" or "President Carter" regardless of the former status.

Particularly when some in the MSM refer to GWB as "Mr. Bush."
