Actually, taking both fields into account, probably Rubio. I mean, both are (well, Obama was in 2008) one term Senators from ethnic minority backgrounds, who haven't really achieved anything of note, but nonetheless have been propelled to the 'top tier' of their respective primary fields on the basis of the fact that they apparently have 'compelling stories', which for some reason is a justification for them leapfrogging candidates with more substantial political achievements (for the Democrats, Hillary, Edwards, Biden, Dodd etc, for the Republicans, Bush, Christie and Kasich). Both are competent speakers, although their actual campaigning abilities leave something to be desired. Both have the media in the tank for them (at least in the primaries).
Obviously, as I indicated, I'm talking about 2008 Obama, as they're aren't really any good matches for 2016 Obama.
