Which character could i compare barack obama to? in terms of the play "the crucible"

I hate to say this, but I think I would have to go with Thomas Putnam. This character used his power and influence to do bad so to speak. If you remember he used his status to accuse people of witchcraft and then would buy those people's land once they were executed. Depending on where one might stand politically some would see Obama as using his power for bad.

Hopefully this helps
