Obama's cult of personality has misled many, and the result will be as it has always been with cults of personality.
Another cult of personality that put the world to war was that of Saddam Hussein. The infamous Ba'ath Party committed wholesale wanton atrocity against the people of Kuwait. Because Iraq's elite forces believed absolutely in their cult leader, they obeyed his animalistic orders without question, placing the entire world at gunpoint.
It became necessary to depose that tyrant to return the world to lessened hostility, but Obama's cult of personality despises anyone who broke Hussein's stranglehold on the world. That is why disabled veterans face termination of all benefits if they served in Desert Storm. The only reason they have not been persecuted more is that we have stopped it.
There have been other cults of personality: the Manson Family, for one of many. The main things that they share are political hysteria, and treacherous, indoctrinated secrecy. Like closet drug abuse, those involved will admit their involvement only to sympathizers, regardless that the outcome always involves violence.
How do YOU feel that someone in YOUR family might secretly be a member of a cult of personality? Note that denial is part of their doctrine of treachery, and they have lots of practice at their unconvincing denial games.
