Checked out that "Office of the President-Elect" with that stylized Presidential seal-like logo lately? I've been watching elections since Kennedy/Nixon and I don't remember anything like that before. Obama is as non-arrogant and unassuming a man as we’ve had on the doorstep of the Presidency in some time.

Mon-arrogant and unassuming? This when speaking about a man who created his own presidential seal while still campaigning? A man who purposely moved events, icluding his nomination acceptance speech, to larger venues so he could pack in more adoring worshipers? A man who gave that speech in his own version of a Greek temple so people could worship him properly? A man who had his airplane seat back embroidered with "President Obama" long before the election? In order for a personality cult to take shape and come into existence, the object of that cult has to be a person with an astronomically large ego. Let's look at personality cults throughout just modern history - Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao, the Jungs in Korea, Khomeini, Arafat, Hussein. Anyone see a pattern here? There are very few personality cult figures, if any, who were good guys. Almost without exception they are egomaniacs and petty dictators. A personality cult can't form around a person who doesn't encourage it to feed their own egos. I have to agree with Lynndh. Mon-arrogant and unassuming?
