For everyone here, if you haven't heard the 80s hit "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour, go find it on YouTube. When I first heard the song a few years ago, Obama came to mind immediately. Here's the verse that says it all: "I sell the things you need to be I'm the smiling face on your TV I'm the cult of personality I exploit you, still you love me I told you one and one make three I'm the cult of personality Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi I'm the cult of personality."
