5. Recall some anchors would almost never refer to BHO as "President Obama"

It was always a generic “The President” or Mr. Obama, with an occasional Barack Obama or Barack Hussein Obama thrown in.

I kind of imagine this as the product of LOD’s inner conflict as a true gentleman who believes earnestly in the power of raw decency, and his utter contempt for the man who holds what has been a sacred office in this country, but will never learn a single thing about the constitution beyond the fifth amendment, and how to manipulate those who fetishize the second.
