216. So I had to look up the phenomena of Cult of Personality

I'd not read it before, and it made me realize something about many of the Hillary supporters on this site, and it also may explain why they keep trying to accuse Sander's supporters of being a cult for Bernie...Projection, if you will.

I see this in the way they treat Obama. I love Obama and support him on most things and give him a lot more credit for good than many people here do, but not completely because he has disappointed me too. I will always support him for the good he's done and for being a particularly outstanding person, but he's wrong on many things that push him toward the third way camp. He's not bold enough on progressive change. He is too slow to react to change that is really necessary, like LGBT rights and other issues, especially on economy.

He's not a God, but some Hillary supporters love him so much (I really do love this man) and support him so completely, they can't stand to hear a word of discouragement or criticism about him. They think we do this with Bernie, but I'm willing to ding Bernie when he screws up, just like I'm willing to ding Obama when he screws up. He just doesn't screw up very often. And it's possible that for these Obama supporters, they feel the same way, because they too are in the third way camp...but I think it's more than that.

So this is, I think, cult of personality for many people here...this Obama idolatry. JMHO
