    Is anyone else confounded and angry about the media having seemingly all jumped on the bandwagon of referring to our President as "Mr. Bush?" I don't know who started it .. probably the Clinton News Network, but they're all doing it now. Was there a meeting among them all or what? I frequently hear Klintoon referred to as President when he's spotlighted, or "former President Jimmy Carter." Am I paranoid or have the respectful protocols for referring to our President changed while I was sleeping ..... or in the shower?
