Amazing but I'm a little bit frustrated at the username he chose. 'PresidentObama'. One day he will no longer be president and then maybe he will understand the difference between identity and value.
- nodata 12y agoI think US Presidents keep their title.
- cwmma 12y agoI read somewhere that president is the one job where that is not supposed to happen, I.E. you revert to your previous title (for Obama Senator). I have never observed this to happen in real life.
- dagw 12y agoNot officially. But most people and the media tend to make that mistake. If you are talking about something someone did as president then it is OK to say something like "while in office President Clinton did...", but if you're talking about something Bill Clinton did after leaving office you should say "Mr Clinton" or "Former President Clinton"
- nindalf 12y agoI believe you do not lose that title after you step down. Bill Clinton is still referred to as President Clinton. And its not just for Presidents either, same holds true with other posts. Mitt Romney was Governor of Massachusetts from 2002 to 2006 but he was still referred to as Governor Romney during the 2012 Presidential election.
