One person who will never use Daesh is our “president”, since they’re offended by the term.

Actually at the G20 he was using it.

Interesting that the thesis of this article is that the acronym matters and Obama has always used ISIL instead of ISIS. ISIS = Islamic State of Iraq and Syria while ISIL = Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel). So Obama has consistently chosen to use the term which is much more expansive for ISIS for whatever reason.
