fucking please. MSNBC has these headlines:
Obama forms deficit panel without Hill’s help
Dalai Lama ‘very happy’ with Obama meeting
Excitement masks divisions within GOP
Fineman: Bayh’s beef with retirement fallout
Obama supports Senate Democrats out West
With CPAC opener, Rubio hits the mainstream
White House: Dems near accord on health care bill
They didn’t use “president” either. Is MSNBC fellating the 'pubs, too?
My copy says that in a headline situation George Walker Bush is supposed to be referred to as “Shrubya,” “Former President Chimp-for-Brains,” “Misbegotten Piss-Poor Excuse For a Chief Executive,” or simply “President Bush,” so it looks like FauxNews is in the clear.
Maybe on the air. This article, though, refers to him as President Obama at the beginning and “Obama” thereafter (and in the headline).
Actually, it’s El Barack Al-Husseini Ahmedinosamabama MUSLIM. Muslim is always capitalised. Get it right.
Don’t blame me, it was on in the hotel breakfast room.
He was just all randy, being only feet away from the Crotch of Greatness, Once Removed.

MSNBC will fellate anyone who will allow them.
Well stated.
They can say whatever they want. It’s a free country.

Why would/should anyone else care? Opinion are like assholes. Everyone’s got one.
Besides, Rush is a big boy. Can’t he handle it himself?
Worst Pitting [del]Ever[/del] Today.
Well, if they had positive news about Obama to report, they’d need extra room to squeeze in the ®…
… and they all stink.
God, I HATE those tabloid bitches and bastards.
Bring back Huntley & Brinkley.
Give me the facts, present them to me without bias, and as best as you can obtain them, let me know you tried, and then, if you didn’t get the fuckin’ story you angled for, don’t start snivellin’ and whining about it, ya dumb ass piece of shit!
Thanks
Q
If you hate them, why do you go to their website?
[Crotchety Old Man] I know that’s not at me, but…
Well, I don’t go to their website, and by-pass that channel every chance I get. I favor CNN, (watch it with HLN being "tabloid’, mommy-friggers, okay?), but even THEY need to curb their fucking tongues.
Just (as a former award-winning broadcast journalist) sayin’, I mean.[/COM]
Okay, I’ll go eat my num-numbs, now.
Assholes. (THEM, not Y’ALL!)
Q
I dont care if they use president, or call him just Obama (although I think it disrespectful). What bothered me on Fox was that the FORMER president had the title, where as the current president did not. That struck me as a bit on the ball sucking side of the pubs.
Had they used first names for both, not an issue. But to specifically leave one off ( the one they hate) and name the other?? come on… worth a little scorn I think.
Perhaps, until you read the posts from people who pointed out that “Bush” could refer to three different people and “Obama” does not.
2cents: I can see both sides of this-it certainly would be confusing if the Bush name wasn’t preceded by a title. But really, how much extra work or time would it take to put the ‘President’ title in front of Obama? And I may be wrong, but I always thought it was sort of expected that you use the title when refering to any president, acting or not, out of respect. So I can buy the interpretation of Fox not using it even once for Obama in the OP’s listing as suggestive of disrespect.
It’s a fucking headline. They abbreviated “Alabama professor” to “Ala. prof.” and didn’t refer to Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney as “Governor” or to Scott Brown as “Senator” either.
They should have called him “Future President Jeb Bush.”
Not likely. He had a 64% approval rating when he left office, and yet he didn’t even run for Mel Martinez’ Senate seat. I think he’s done with national politics.
