the last thing i wanna do is be disrespectful to our PE.

i personally don't think it is...i could be wrong though...my thinking is, if that's what his 'known associates' call him, why the heck can't i?

Why not? He went by that in HS, yes?
And when courting the Irish Catholic vote, Barry O'bama?

Yes. Mr. President, Sir Barack, or Messiah are the only accepted terms.

LOL to News and BG! I don't think it's disrespectful unless you call him that the first time you meet him personally! Does he have access to the BA?

I don't think it's disrespectful unless it's to his face (simply for the lack of formality). It would be the same as calling George W. Bush "Georgie" when first meeting him. It's Mr. President, or President Obama. To us here, however, who gives a damn?
