“It'd be like Obama making himself a king — and you're not too pleased by his pretensions in that direction, are you?”

No I'm not. On the other hand I don't think it would be the same thing. We are citizens of the United States and the individual sovereign states. As such, we have not had a Crown to look to since our beginning and we do not have a reigning king to take the lead. The traditional English on the other hand have been subjects of the Crown, have had Kings and Queens for a long time, and have a reigning Queen to take the lead. They might look on a monarchy benevolent to them and bent on restoring some sanity as an improvement over their present situation. I say “might”. I don't know for sure.

For all intents and purposes the English people haven’t been “subjects of the crown” for well over 200 years. They’ve been run by Parliament for a very long time.
