Does it bother anyone else? When our President is referred to?

Question

Mr. Bush or in a less than respectful manner? He should be referred to as Mr. President, President Bush, or if people want to shorten it, why not GWB or W for that matter.

I expect a ton of BDS answers here and of those who agree with me, count on the thumbs down from those who suffer from BDS.

But, he is our Commander in Chief and as such I believe that he and his position should be respected by the US citizens..you?

Answer 1

Gotta love being able to block someone that doesn't agree with ya huh?

Answer 2

I absolutely agree with you. He is the President of our Nation and should be respected and treated in a dignified manner no matter what your thoughts are about him. To not call him by his title is really not acceptable. I also do not believe that people who disagree, especially in time of war, should not be traveling to other countries and denouncing him and our Nation. I am referring to the Hollywood crowd and even to some Senators who made remarks degrading the Country and the President. This is totally wrong. I don't know what people are thinking of or if they have ever been taught proper manners. It is an embarrassment to our Country when these people choose to dishonor our President.

Answer 3

there is a difference between liking someone and respecting someone. All Presidents deserve respect, ever Carter, Clinton, and Bush. It is hard work to achieve the highest office of our land. Thank God Hitlery will never reach that plateau



Edit:
For all those saying they can not respect a liar, war monger, yada yada yada, how many of you respected, President Bill Clinton?

Answer 4

Yes and no. You see, it depends. Those critics that don't like our President call him names, or just bush. No one cares anymore about respect and such. It is a sad world we live in now.
But back to your original question; I have also wondered the same thing. But likewise, I have caught myself saying Bush, and I regret it.
The leader of our country deserves respect in this fallen world.
I aggree with you that he should be called President Bush more often. But GWB won't stick, I don't think. After all, he won't be our leader for much longer.

Answer 5

Under GWB the country is in a real mess. The government is borrowing money from other countries to keep itself going. He's is dumping money into a questionable war that citizens dislike. He has embarassed this country with his policies, behavior, flubbed speaches, etc. The list can go on. One of the very few things he has done right is keep the plans for the formation of the North American Union right on track.

Answer 6

In the past, there was no gray area between honest dissent and outright disrespect.
Apparently, the times have changed. Bill Clinton brought shame and disgrace to the Whitehouse - yet he remained popular as ever. The hatred that President Bush seems to garner is the product of far left wing rhetoric, outright lies and outlandish conspiracy theories.

Answer 7

ok... yet while China imposes a tarriff and each thing at wal-mart is going up 50 p.c.... be confident to tell them you haven't any longer have been given time then too... we live in a international economic equipment...odds are... your interest relies upon on different countries to a pair degree... and how human beings "think of" usually gets trasfered to the business enterprise international... the uncomplicated reality is... it is an previous concept which you have... and you won't be able to stay to tell the tale with that attitude now days... it fairly is a international industry and a million.2 billion chinese language desire American products... do you care how they experience? or do you in basic terms desire to overlook approximately a million.2 billion attainable customers at the same time as the different business enterprise that does care sells six hundred million products to them? now i'm no longer asserting that we could continually make judgements in accordance with it... yet in simple terms asserting "i do no longer care" is a recipie for failure...

Answer 8

He is *supposed* to be the Commander in Chief, and I agree that the position should be respected, however, if the person who is in that position has no respect for us, I have no respect for him/her, and therefore feel absolutely NO need to address him respectfully.

I also love those people who compare him to the last President - I am much more willing to refer to Bill Clinton as President Clinton, even now, than I am to refer to the yahoo who is currently sitting in that chair with that title.

Answer 9

I say, have enough respect for him and call him by the name he deserves.Mr President Bush

Answer 10

I was always taught that one must earn respect. I don't believe Bush has earned my respect. While I do respect the office I do not respect the holder of the office at this time. I cannot respect someone who is a liar, corrupt, incompetent, arrogant, and greedy.

When and if he ever earns my respect I will respect the man himself otherwise forget about it.

Answer 11

Rah Rah. Conservatives mention this nonsense only when a republican is in office. Moreover the constitution says that if I want to call W a dolt...I'm free to do so.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

George W Bush is a dolt.
