Who is this "Mr Bush" the media keep referring to...? Do they mean President Bush, by chance?

It is common practice, and has been for MANY years to use President the first time in an article and Mr. after that. Try reading a few older articles.

"Mister" was the form of address preferred by a guy you might've heard of, went by the name of George Washington. There was some discussion about what title to use, the most popular being "Your Excellency." Washington, however, formalized use of "Mr. President" or "Mr. Washington."
