Finding similarities btw Obama & Winthrop

Taking a look at the governor of Massachsetts Bay Colony, John Winthrop and the current President of the United States, we can find they have similarities to each other. Seemingly, it might be unlikely to find something in common between them. However, both of them are great orators, and also some resemblances can be found in their political principles.
John Winthrop, who led a fleet of eleven vessels filled with Calvinists to New England, lived up to the lofty principle of his religion, Calvinism. The main idea of “A Model of Christian Charity”, the blueprint of his political ambition was that: love each other. He emphasized what he wanted to express by saying “We must uphold a familiar community together in all meekness, gentleness, patience and liberality.” He wanted his colony to overcome the new conditions of living by helping the poor neighbors. That means he thought that the wealthy have responsibility to support the community and share what they have so that the community is able to work as the same body.
similarly, Obama has this point of view in the policies he has been raising. He favors progressive tax income which charges more tax to the wealthy than the poor in order to support the entire society. Also, he defends the New Deal policy by Franklin D. Roosevelt which was aimed for the well-being of the community by providing jobs for the unemployed by spending the public funds. Most of all, Obama succeeded in reforming the social insurance program, Medicare which was unreasonable and unfair especially to the low-income citizens. Of course, the resemblance between the two leaders can be easily found when we think about the fact that Obama is from the Democratic Party.
when it comes to the war, we can also infer the common opinion of Winthrop and Obama from their works. Winthrop might be described as a lenient leader when he dealt with the sinners and his enemies because he tried to exercise his belief, ‘Love your enemy’. Obama, as well is trying to recover the rigid relations with the Muslim world and prohibit developing nuclear weapons for the world peace. And he puts his efforts to reduce spending the money for producing weapons for combats. Although it is hard to say that Obama is spending all his energy on practicing the principle, ‘Love your enemy”, we can still recognize the clear difference about the foreign policy between him and George W. Bush.
