The New York Times is the only paper I can think of that would use "Mr. Bush", anyone else would use "President Bush". You don't hear Mr/Mrs/Miss much here either in normal usage, which is something I consider unfortunate. I treasure the few times I get called "Mr. Taylor". I hate being called by my first name by people I don't know personally, like, say, the people at the bank. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
