people and media have been calling ex-presidents "president" all my life. i agree that public figures shouldn't be revered rather than respected, and i do chafe a bit when journalists make the error, but i have to admit i'm a bit suspicious of why this author would take up this cause with such energy targeting one particular former president when we see similar examples with the bushes, carter, etc. on a daily basis. obama isn't "just" an ordinary citizen. he is a highly educated, well-reasoned, and experienced politician, and when he speaks out on matters of public interest, i definitely want to know what he's saying
