What do you call someone who has been elected as president but not inagurated? Not President Elect... It should be Mr. Obama, or Senator Obama, because that's what he is.

The military has similar titles for promotions.  In the United States Air Force, for example.  When you test for your next rank and you pass the test, this means you will inheret that rank.  Why not you earned it right?  Untill you wear the rank you tested for then you shouldn't be called "elect"

The Air Force holds this title as "Select"  For example a Senior Airman (E-4) tests for his/her next chevron.  The Airman passes the test so this person earned the rank of Staff Sergeant (E-5)  Untill this Airmans number is called in the proceding month they catch the "Hey Sgt Select" when really they are still only a Senior Airman?

Did we call the current Catholic Pope "Pope Select" or "Pope Elect"?  I guess the point I'm trying to make is "President Elect" Obama is still only Senator Obama.
