Has anyone ever heard a journalist say “Mr Clinton” as they have been saying “Mr Bush” for the past seven years?

Presidentclinton is apparently still just one word. It is the “tell” above all for which way journalists vote.

It’s one of the subtle things the reporters do to show disrespect to the President. Using “Mr.” is condescending, trying to lower him down to commoner status.

That bothers me too maica; but the media always refer to Bush 41 as President Bush also. I think it was anita, who told us once in one of her terrific media nuggets, the policy (written no less) of the media, is President BUsh the first time, and Mr. Bush after that. Who knows why.

Brit thinks March at the soonest for a dem winner. Interesting. LOL, both Maura and Brit tell Juan he is WRONG on the delegates. Juan is a big Hillary supporter.

Speaking of the debate, Chris talks about the “dream ticket” that Wolfie was pushing. I doubt seriously that Barak would accept second fiddle to Hillary and I’m certain that Hillary would never accept the number two slot.

Kristol brings reality into the question: Barack would NEVER ask Hillary to be his running mate.

That really irks me too. The DBM is so predictable with their outright hatred for President Bush. I don't agree with him on some issues, but calling him Mr. Bush on a regular basis is apalling.

I didn't agree with the impeached one at all, but he was still my CIC. I will quit the military if Monica's ex boyfriend's wife is elected in Nov.

It does amaze me that he is still President Clinton whereas your current President is either Mr Bush or in many cases just Bush.

And they say there is no media bias as in the words of Bill Clinton “give me a break”.

A point that has struck in my craw for years and I never doubted it wasn't deliberate. It was Wendel Goler (sp?) of Foxnews who first made me aware as his refusal to use President Bush in the same sentence was upsetting as I expected more respect from Foxnews. BTW they used to say Former President Clinton and even that has gone by the wayside as he's now simply President Clinton.
