Using the title of President instead of Mr. is a sign of respect for the office of the Presidency of the United States and should be used when addressing or speaking of the President. At times, however, it would be appropriate to call him "Mr. President". All citizens should honor the office of President and give due respect. You do not have to agree with someone to show them the respect of their position. If someone is the President of the United States and especially if you are a citizen of the United States, then it follows that you should show respect and address him as President, for example: President Obama - not Mr. Obama.

Why is it that most of media refer to President Obama as just Obama?
Most of media are more respectful than that. However, some are not. Unfortunately, it may be that many Americans are just disrespectful of their leaders no matter which party they come from. Still, I think disrespect is a form of protected First Amendment Speech. But it is not proper. The office of President and the President himself should be treated with more respect.
You often hear President Obama being called Mr Obama should he be only called Mr President or President Obama instead?
You can call him whatever you want, free speech, right? Unless you are in the military, there is no law or code of rules and standards you must follow when addressing the president.Having said that, although there is no mandate to do so, the tradition and standard protocol for showing the due respect to the President and the office he holds, is to call him either President Obama or Mr. President. Barack Obama is appropriate in some situations, but not Mr. Obama. He has earned the title and we should respect that enough to use proper etiquette and protocol when we address him. Very close friends and family may have been given his permission to call him Barack, but usually even they do so only in private, adopting the proper protocol in public.

Barack Obama put a good media team in place back in 2008, and it helped him get elected. Mr. Obama has made good use of social media like Facebook, Twitter, and smart-phones during the presidential campaign, and since then, he and his team have continued to do so.
