One of the arguments made in class on Monday about Obama not having a cult of personality was that there were no monuments erected to him. Yet...
On his 100th day in office, a painting called "The Truth" will be unveiled in New York City's Union Square. The artist of the painting Michael D'Antuono stated, "More than a presidential portrait, 'The Truth' is a politically, religiously and socially-charged statement on our nation's current political climate and deep partisan divide that is sure to create a dialogue."
Another artist, Matthew J. Clark, parading around a sculpture in January of Obama riding a donkey and waving palm fronds.
So, is there a cult of personality surrounding Barrack Obama? Although a good percentage of people are likening him to Jesus, they are still the minority. And none of these are being implemented from Obama himself.

Haha he totally backed out because "it was not meant to offend some people." What a joke, people like this just want the attention.
