The reason for the AP style change has nothing to do with Obama personally. It's simply that the style has been different for U.S. presidents only for the U.S. wire. In the rest of the world, the AP always used the full name of the U.S. president, but only his last name in the U.S. As the AP unifies the style of its wires worldwide, it makes no sense to make an exception for the U.S. president. This should have been explained in the cryptic AP statement. Why?
