I'm sure George Bush watches these videos, hears their claims and chuckles.

Those are very nice rallying points, but what do they have to do with Führerkult? Führerkult refers to a circle of proponents that will rally around a persona come good or ill. Yes, Hitler had such a following. So did both of the Roosevelts, Lincoln, Taft, Reagan, Clinton, Thatcher, Edward the Longshanks, the Saladin, Constantine, et cetera. It is not an indictment of hate or fascism. The point made and taken is that Bush '43's cult is particularly strong. Anything other implied is spin; nothing more.
