When referring to a sitting President...

Shouldn't our current president, Barack Obama, be refered to as "President" Obama, and not "Mr." Obama? 

I have been listening to NPR for over 25 years and I have never, until now, heard them refer to a sitting president as anything but "President" so-and-so. 

Why, now, am I hearing President Obama being called "Mister"?

Seriously, I want to know.
