How would you address President Obama? (attorney, Maryland, governor, elect)

He is no one I would speak to at all.......even if we were alone in the same room.

Considering how long it took for anyone to say anything rude to Dick Cheney -- I think it was in the aftermath of Katrina -- most of the ones talking so big here would be too cowed by the President to say anything but 'sir'...and probably 'yes, sir' at that.

The one or two who aren't quite aware enough to be polite probably would never have the chance of meeting him at all.

It is also very amusing in light of all the trash-talk here that whenever the president does go out in public -- a walk on the Mall, a visit to a restaurant -- everyone is pleased to see him. They shake his hand, they call him sir, they don't spit, stick out their tongues or act like fools.

Now you can believe that the Secret Service or whoever makes sure that the only people on the Mall on a bright spring day are supporters...or you can believe the simple answer which is that people like and respect President Obama.

Out of respect for the office, Mr. President.

I hope to never meet him. I would avoid him.. Presidents come and go..He is not an important person to me. After all we are all equal and I don't care for pomp and circumstance which is elitist.

Mr. Resident. (Hey, all I withold from him is the "P".)

[Bulldogdad]

I wouldn't.

[BlackShoe]

"Comrade President."

[desertdetroiter]

Mr. President, i guess. Depends.

Here is how I would address him............." President Barack HUSSEIN Obama"

I then would ask why his mommy thought giving him a MUSLIM name was so important.
