"This" President

I don't like it when people use the phrase "this President" when referring to President Obama. In the past people refer to the President as "the President" or "our President" but lately when conservatives are talking about President Obama they use the phrase "this President."

I don't like it. I think it seperates themselves from the President and I believe it has an unspoken racist tone to it. As if to say "this black President." As if to imply that he isn't really the President to all of us, we're just throwing black America a bone and giving them one.

Barak Obama is the President of the United States and he deserves to the respect due his office by all, whether they voted for him or not. Conservatives need to remember the freedom's they value so highly are being held in defense by "this President."
