Those who are teaching such interpretations base the designation on each leader's birthplace.  It is pointed out that Putin was born almost directly north of Jerusalem, while Obama was born at a more southerly latitude (Hawaii or Kenya). Jerusalem is at 31.75 degrees North (about the same as Savanna, Georgia).
To such an interpretation any president born in Florida, the southern parts of the Gulf states (like Texas and Louisiana) and Hawaii would fit. John McCain, having been born in the Panama Canal Zone, would have also fit.
