As with any title that requires a lot of work, such as a doctorate, I feel it is disrespectful not to use the title, and I am not a fan of President Obama. As for the last person to hold the position, I was proud of myself for never using the word President in the same sentence with his name. I considered that to be disrespectful, which was intentional.

As for the primary, why do you think less choice is better? Have you already decided who you will vote for without knowing everyone that is running? Sounds like you plan to vote for a party instead of the best person.
