Spelling “President” with a small “p”?

I do not remember the name of the professor teaching English 101 who told the class  when referring to the President of the United States of America, you must use a capital “P”. He said that is due to respect for the office and also separates him from the president of a club, company or other entities. I have never forgotten that lesson learned so many years ago and often wonder why other 101 English Teachers do not teach their students the same rule.

Bob Woodward writes security guard at Watergate out of history

For the past few days it appears journalist Bob Woodward has come on stage to disparage Pres. Obama. *His soliloquy on how the President, by his lonesome, is responsible for the sequestration we are now facing is being booed from the orchestra seats, boxes and gallery. At the present time the stage has been cleared and Mr. Woodward is alone sputtering nonsense amidst debris thrown by the disparaged audience.

Many of us remember **Woodwards’  Washington Post articles that never mentioned the name of Frank Will, the Black security guard at Watergate who alerted police that the lock on the back door was being manipulated for easy access to the building.  Frank Will was fired from his job at Watergate and after being offered and accepting a security job at Howard University, the President of Howard University was told Congress would cut off funds to the university if Mr. Will remained working on campus. As I remember, there was much sorrow. Mr. Will was fired. What if Mr. Woodward had  given Mr. Will his rightful and eminent place in history?

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

*Bob Woodward, Obama Aide Spar, Causing Confusion Over Definition Of 'Regret'
By JasonLinkins
Excerpt:
Yes, we can only imagine that the "Obama aide" might raise his voice at Woodward once he'd heard Woodward's underlying claim about Obama "moving the goalposts," which was embarrassingly mis-premised and which Brian Beutler, among others, shredded into confetti. "They're all going to laugh at you!" we imagine this Obama aide might have yelled.

**The Post investigates
"Five Held in Plot to Bug Democratic Offices Here," said the headline at the bottom of page one in the Washington Post on Sunday, June 18, 1972. The story reported that a team of burglars had been arrested inside the offices of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate office complex in Washington.

So began the chain of events that would convulse Washington for two years, lead to the first resignation of a U.S. president and change American politics forever.

I note Frank Will is also absent in the book A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present by Howard Zinn
