"Not only that, but he keeps calling our President just "Bush""

In many circles - professional, social, political - it's considered perfectly correct to simply use the last name when referring to even the most distinguished people.

it's not acceptable, it's not polite and it is not the correct way of addressing the President.

It's disrespectful and coming from this guy is an inslut to all of us.

Exactly. For variety's sake, you have to alternate and mix up what you call people you speak of frequently. It would sound silly to constantly say President Bush, this, President Bush that. Heck, those people on F&F give the president more respect than a lot of people on FR.
