If Bush had adopted Obama who'd changed his name to Gaius Iulius Obamus Augustus I'd see it as a turning point, other then that the US pres has already a strong enough position

Though Rome comparisons are funny. Another possible one is Athens, being a democratic leader of a large alliance stretching overseas against the big empire in the east, but showing at least sign of being an empire itself.
