Just Curious How Many DUers NEVER refer To * As "President"
I made up my mind back in 2000 never to refer to * as "president." It's like breathing to me - automatic.

47. Or scare quotes in writing.
And never with a capital p. When reading those two words together in print, I never fail to elide the first one.

He's either "Bush" or 'the current occupant of the Oval Office/White House'.

He stole the office, twice, thus he does not deserve the courtesy of the title.

In addition, he has befouled the office in such an atrocious manner, it's another reason why I will never refer to him by that title.

40. Thanks, Dinger!
The second this Idiot was installed in office, the husband and I started referring to him as the "Occupant".

That would seem to denote that he was simply an occupant of the White House, rather than a president.

But the real origin of the term was this: We figured that Cheney would be reading the REAL mail, and he'd just hand the Idiot the flyers marked 'Occupant', just to make him feel important.

To this day, he's probably still meeting with Cheney and the gang at least once a week to discuss what's on sale at the local DC supermakets, and to divvy-up the coupons.

44. Never in six years.
I vowed I would never say the "P" word in front of the "B" word because he did not earn that title or the respect that goes with it. My kids have tried since 2001 to get me to trip up and say it but I haven't and I don't ever plan to.
Of course I realize that he is in fact the office holder and that he carries that title, but I will never, ever utter those words together because of the way in which he obtained it.

No title, not even "Mr."

Anything suggesting that that creature has the sort of "human" qualities we expect of other people, or even our pets, would be a lie. With apologies to Chimpanzees, who really don't deserve the caricature that appellation implies.

56. When Dan Abrams read the decision of the Supreme Court on air in Bush V Gore
I made up my mind then never to call him President. Or in print, I use a lowercase "p" and/or capital R. (pResident)

He doesn't represent me or this country or the principles it was founded on. He spits on the Constitution that he swore to uphold.

He doesn't deserve the title of President.

57. I make it a habit not to. The closest I come is "pResident," but
I do not attach it to his last name.

For example, here's my latest column - usually I refer to him as "Junior," "Dubya," "Bush" - at least in the column, even though I don't bother capitalizing when I'm ranting in general. There are LOTS of ways to refer to him without reaffirming the title he did not earn, and does not deserve. I happen to like "Humpty Dumpty" at the moment:

78. That's another good one. In fact, I originally found my way to DU from
a site called "Resident bush." Back in 2001, before September 11th. It linked me to Buzzflash, which led me here. I just do NOT like associating the ill-gotten-gain title with that bastard's name. It does NOT fit. The two words do NOT belong together. And I can't, anyway, because I cannot bring myself to acknowledge that creep as my president. 'Cause he's NOT. I refuse to recognize his claim on OUR Oval Office. 'Cause he doesn't have one.

To me,he's not our president because he wasn't elected by the people and I would NEVER call someone that stupid and evil president of our country. He's the biggest embarrassment we could ever have. Plus,I hate him with a passion.He's too incompetent to hold such a powerful job.

I remember kids in my school making fun of kids like bu$h.It should never have been an option for him to even RUN,let alone be placed in such a serious position.It boggles my mind that a person doesn't even have to be intelligent to be a President of the United States.In this day and age all that's necessary is to be the "kinda guy you would like to have a beer with". This country is sooooo phucked up anymore.It's not the America I grew up in,that's for damn sure. :puke:

73. "President Bush" would be a juxtaposition of incongruities.
Like "Jumbo Shrimp" or "Military Intelligence".... (thanks to George Carlin for those examples!)

76. F&%#-ing Bush
My children don't get to swear around the house unless they combine the swear word with the name of a member of the * administration.

They're going to swear anyway, so this just makes the situation a bit more pleasant to my tender ears.

Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 03:33 AM by Raksha
and then I make sure to say "YOUR president," with YOUR in all caps.

Other options are the "president," (always in quotation marks), the pResident, or "the so-called president."

But I usually refer to him as Dubya or Shrub or the Chimp.

at how such a powerful country could somehow have someone like him "in charge." Otherwise, especially in text, it's either a *, his name, or at most "pResident" or something.

not my president. I was listening to NPR and I always mute it when they have Bush speaking. I can't stand to look at him or listen to his lying mouth. I always feel I'm being put on when ever anyone from this administration says anything. I hate being lied to like that all the time. Bush, Cheney, Rice and all the rest are scum sucking bastards as far as I am concerned and I can't wait until they are gone.

112. I do. Not because he acts in any way presidential...
...but as a reminder that he is taking up the space of someone who could. As a reminder of the responsibilities which he is reneging on every minute of every day of his occupation. As a reminder that only a real president can begin to undo the damage done by *'s Executive branch. He's not up to the job, not in any way whatsoever, but it's his for now, and every last American who isn't a billionaire should be distancing him/herself.

I do have to grit my teeth to call him president. Believe me, I understand your point of view. My wife agrees with us both, by the way.

Not President. NEVER "President". Don't care what his fucking title says. If the courts, not the people, selected you then you ain't president, money. Take THAT on your mandate with Gannon and Condi.

("Bewsh" meaning the yokel morans at the beginning Fahrenheit 9/11 chanting "Presdent Bewsh! Presdent Bewsh!" over and over again in that one segment. Hope they're proud of themselves for enabling bloodshed and baby corpses).

Saying "President Bush" (excuse me while I retch :puke: ) affords that squatter a title of respect he has not earned in the slightest.

Whenever I hear someone say "President Bush," I have an alarm go off in my head. You just know they're a supporter of that little shit-for-brains frat boy dickhead.
