Reply #14: is it common for first ladies to refer to their husbands as "President ___"? [View All]

[salin]

Reading the excerpt it strikes me as Bob Doleish (remember how he talked about himself in the third person?) - she refers to her husband as "President Bush" - not George, not 'my husband', not even 'the president' (which, too, would sound a little odd.) Did Nancy Reagan refer to her husband as President Reagan? I know that protocol has most folks - even friends - refer to a President as "Mr. President" rather than by their first name, but is that common for the wife to do as well? I really can't recall - did Hillary refer to Bill as "President Clinton"?
