And the reason why referring to Obama as 'president' sticks in his craw is pretty obvious.

I can only imagine what Newt calls him when the cameras aren't rolling, and he's surrounded only by people of like mind.

Many in the establishment media do too. Gingrich is like many on both sides that call him Obama. I'm sure this is a race thing, again on both sides and it's disgusting. DU is the best place I can find on the entire internet that really can find something positive to say about a great president. It's almost impossible for me to find good things anywhere. I was a regular on Crooks and Liars until I figured out they like to talk about right wing crooks, they want to spread their propaganda in the guise of critics. The producers of that site are cons, in both sense of the words. I just had to get that off my mind, it's time for the truth to come out.
