Two things. Christians routinely refer to Jesus Christ, and President Bush was routinely called "Bush" by the press; does that make him a Christ figure in this knucklehead's mind?
I consider it disrespectful to the office to refer to the president by just a name and not the title, no matter what loser or idiot is in the job.

The office is President of the United States. It's a job. Obama is Obama. He was hired for the job. No more no less.
