Oh, I have no objections to presidents being referred to by surname
alone, it's when "Mr." is used. "Bush" and "President Bush" (likewise
"Clinton" or "President Clinton") are both fine, it's the "Mr." that I
find somewhat insulting. "Bush" alone just sounds like "President" was
left off, but "Mr. Bush" makes it sound like "Mr." is being deliberately
chosen *instead of* President. It's the same thing with any other
common title, such as Senator or Judge or Dr.
