Any person who wants to be President of the United States is arrogant. There is no way you could not be. The awesome responsibilities that come with making the decisions that are made in that office are, to say the least, over-whelming. To believe that you could do a good job at it, you must have a great deal of self-confidence that crosses over the border of arrogance. But, this one really takes it to an entire new level. This picture doesn't deserve to highlighted. This picture shows that the President has a cult like following that isn't healthy in our government. We are a government of "We the People" not about worshiping the dear leader.
I fully understand that people of color never had a chance to vote for someone that looked like them in the past, but this is a middle school student. This kid doesn't have a point of reference to the past. This kid is growing up in different country than his parents and especially his grandparents did. This is idolatry pure and simple. President Obama should be embarrassed that he is idolized in this manner. He also should realize that our country is bigger than the office of the presidency, even while he is sitting in it.
