I think it's much worse...

Only the fringe left truly hated President Bush. Yes, there was a lot of disdain for the President all around but this was based on the perception the Administration misled the country into war, not because of disagreements in policy.

The difference is now the hatred has gone mainstream.

Have you noticed that you hardly ever hear Pres. Obama referred to that way? It is always Obama. There is such destain for the man that they can't bring themselves to say the word Pres. And I don't necessarily mean here in a post when it is quicker to just type his name.
It's a feel good move to make them feel like they've stripped him of his title, like it doesn't really exist. I'm not even sure many realize they're doing it.
