If Obama really is the stealth Muslim candidate trying to take control of America for Islam, thereby delivering us to the mercies of a god who was originally an astral deity before he was monotheised, then I'd compare him to Elagabalus.

First off, comparing Roman Emperors to POTUS’s is legitimate and above board.

Presidents aren’t emporers. Plus you’ve got two there in your list who haven’t even been president.

If I had to pick though I would say Cincinnatus as Abraham Lincoln (combined with aspects of Jefferson Davis). Figure that one out!

I wouldn’t compare GW Bush with Tiberius. Tiberius was known for his love of orgies. GWB seems a very decent family man.

I would say GWB is more like Claudius maybe? A stutterer, not well loved but in reality not a bad Emperor.

FDR=Diocletian
Lincoln=Justinian

Justinian reunited the western empire to the east.

Diocletian established massive bureaucracy in Rome and established economic restraints parellel to FDR’s NRA program.
