I always just call him Joe. Sure, government officials, the media, and some others should always

use his formal title, but I like to see guys like me call him Joe. I kind of think Joe would appreciate that and it's something the former guy would be infuriated by. Could you even imagine working class people calling him Don?

I'd like to see WWII home front style posters saying things like, "Atta way Joe, show them how America gets back to work!" It could show men and women like the famous "Rosie The Riveter" poster.

I think he'd like it. It's also my middle name, so a certain affinity comes along with it.
