The title goes with the job

EDITOR:

I and most of the American people of every race, creed, color, religion, gender and political party are very proud of the historical significance and symbolism here in America and around the world of the election and presidency of Barack Obama, especially African-Americans.

As an American citizen, taxpayer and voter, I and many Americans truly believe that Barack Obama, whether some Americans like it or not, is the official leader, president, chief executive, and commander-in-chief of our great country since being elected Nov. 4, 2008. He deserves the title of president and the respect of the office of the U.S. presidency from all Americans, just like 43 U.S. presidents before him, from George Washington to George W. Bush.

I believe like many Americans while President Barack Obama as the 1st African-American in the history of our great country called the United States of America, he is first and foremost the president, chief executive, commander-in-chief, and official leader of the United States of America and the free world. And should be referenced to by all Americans by his elected and official title of president of the United States of America.
