The media started doing this early in the bush presidency. They decided at some point that if they don't like the president they will show him disrespect by saying Mr. instead of Mr. President or President.

When he was alive he was called Mr. President, or President Ford, I never heard him called Mr. Ford after he became one of our Presidents. I feel that the title of President should always be used to honor any President or former President.

Its is disrespectful to refer to any President, past or present, as Mr. They should always be called President instead of Mr.

He is no longer President and therefore they are referring to him as Mr. Ford.

No. Miss Ford would probably be disrespectful.

Yes, it is. All former presidents are usually referred to as "President... so and so.." Or Former President so and so..

No. He is a man. What would be disrespectful would be if they just referred to him as "Gerald"
