Back to the originol topic. Is there any of you, regardless of your political leanings, that thinks this "cult of personality" shit has any place in The United States.
This type of crap has always been reserved for Counties like China, (Mao), North Korea, certain African Countires, a few Latin American Countries, and any Country with "democratic people's" in it's official name.
My bet is if President Obama had the opportunity, he would say to that young man, "don't do that".

What is far far more disturbing, and all too real, is the culture of hatred and intolerance displayed by the right for President Obama since the day he was elected....and that is on display here every single day. It's divisive and poisonous. I get disagreeing with Obama. But, the claims that his presidency isn't legitimate, that he was born in Kenya, that he has a cult of personality like North Korea.....that he is stupid, that he only got where he is due to affirmative action, blah blah blah. I try not to throw the race card but it's hard not to when seeing some of the bullshit you people toss out there....hard to see how there could be any other reason for the absolute unreasoning hatred for the man. It's not about disagreement with politics or policies. It's beyond that and it's disturbing.
