Jr's copy their dad's name all the way through. Once daddy is no more, they lose the Jr(although hoity-toities like to keep it, it isn't necessary). If your grandfather is Thomas Henry Smith and you are Thomas Henry Smith Jones, you just have 2 middle names in honor of the man ( II's and III's are also repeat names, but come either from skipping generations or successive ones, ie: Jr names his kid the same, so Jr is now the II, (though Jr normally keeps the Jr, not add II) and the kid is now the III.)
Although the president's dad is referred to as George, Sr in the news, it's just to differentiate between the two-sonnyboy has a different middle name, so he's not really a Jr.
Hope that clears it up a little!
