Why Do They Call Him Mr. Obama ?
Newscaster Jonathan Elias of WBZ TV 4 News called President "MR. Obama" during a part of the news. A few days ago a woman newscaster of the same WBZ 1030 radio station during a newscast called President "MR.Obama". I mention these two incidents because when someone called Barack Obama president Obama before the inauguration the newscasters would be very emphatic and insist he be called MR. Obama until the inauguration. Well what is their excuse now for calling President Obama Mr. Obama.

It's their way of showing DISrespect without MOST people catching on.

They won't call him president because they don't recognize him as their president which a lot of us don't. This country is very divided. Half the country does not like this guy at all. The list is growing every day. I am very surprised that in Massachusetts where there is no such thing as a Republican in the first place, that two news reporters on WBZ-TV 4 in Boston called him Mr. Obama.

You need to listen really carefully.
President and Mr. are interchanged consistently.
It's simply done to not be so monotonous.
Whether it's President or Mr., Barack Obama has a 67% approval rate.

I don't call him Mr. Obama,or President Obama,I think Comrade Obama is suitable.It more accurately reflects who and what he is.
