Yup,...born biracial and grew up for the most part with his Kansas grandparents in Hawaii, with a stint in Indonesia...for the most part didn't know his father and his mother left his life at an early age...

Somehow ended up at Columbia and then got a Harvard Law degree and became president of the Harvard Law Review, a first...

Could have written his own ticket at any law firm in the country but decided to be a do gooder Community Organizer in Chicago...went into politics and got his butt cleaned by someone who was a hell of lot more known and loved by the voters...could have decided to hang it up then but his desire and yes ambition said no...keep going...

Somehow ended giving one of the most notable and remembered speech by all Americans not just Democratic types at the Democratic convention...

Decided to run for President of the United States, the most powerful political leadership job in the world...clearly too young, inexperienced and running against the already sure winner...

Beat her through one of the best run political campaigns ever seen in modern American politics and took on the best the Repubs could offer (which clearly was not that good) and showed that his intelligence, calmness under fire and potential was enough for the country to give him the largest election plurality by a Democrat in several decades.

Immediately tackled the problems left by a disastrous 8 years of leadership (could be the worst 8 years in our history) even though a rabid vocal minority loudly and irrationally opposed the efforts and also even not always to the agreement of his supporters. But the vast majority of the country is so thankful that he is there and not his opponents...

He has the potential to be one of our great leaders and has already shown us glimpses of it...

PS: Hellofa basketball player...can't throw a baseball to save his ***...
