Obamatons believe in Obama because all humans have a need to believe in something. On the Right, many of us satisfy this need in church. On the Left, having disparaged and rejected "organized" religion, they turn to something else - something they create and define and can, therefore, change at will. Many Leftists treat government as their church, the exercise of power over others as their religion, and their elected and appointed officials as a religious hierarchy.

Leftists view us as "infidels" in their church; infidels to be converted, or driven out and dominated or oppressed. Consider how the Left cannot tolerate dissent; though they have always claimed to be the champions of "free speech". What those on the Right say and write is "heresy" in the church of the Left.

Yours is an excellent explanation of Obama-mania. Those who believe in nothing wil believe in anything.
