Not in my opinion, it's just the cult of personality.

I agree...the problem is that we are plagued with people who want to be leaders who possess common sense when what we need are unique people with uncommon sense. Making the president look like a normal guy makes people comfortable but it is, in my opinion, insulting.

I have a friend who complains about the fact that the president doesn't change the oil in his car. WTF??? First of, who does anymore.....Jiffy Lube will do it for the price of the oil and the filter. But that isnt the point....do we really need the leader of the free world laying under a car under a tree on the whitehouse lawn changing the oil in his limo???? I don't want a normal guy for president...I want an abnormal guy with superior intellect and an unflappable character who is able to listen to people who are experts in their field and change his (or her mind) when they are wrong. We haven't had that guy in MANY, MANY, MANY years.....maybe since Harry Truman.....
