2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

I was lisening to Rush Limbaugh who calls the President "Obama" or "Mr.Obama". Also Sean Hannity sometimes calls him "The Anointed One". He is the President of the United States. Commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He should be called by his title. Moonshot926 (talk) 17:42, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

As someone outside the United States, I don't see the problem. Osaka Sun (talk) 17:46, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Then i guess you must be a racist. Moonshot926 (talk) 17:48, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
