 DD> Mr is a title, so is President. To refer to someone as title

 ML> hunh? there is something wrong with Mr. President?

It's not a question of wrong. We use it conventionally but he's
quite right when he says it consists of one title, Mister, followed
by another title, President. 

We don't find it odd because we're used to it. He's from Oz so he
hears it differently.
