Name a person you really feel is / were a genius in their time ?

Question

of success ?

Answer 1

There are many people who's efforts that I admire, but as far as someone who has exceeded expectations in the history of America, it has to be Barrack Obama.  

Here we have a man from a single parent, bi-racial upbringing, that has risen to having a 50/50 chance of being the leader of the most powerful country in the world.

Its amazing how many people don't realize the magnitude of this accomplishment, in light of the fact that 90% of Black males in prison are from single-parent homes. This is still America which prides itself on its poor race relations, where the average Black can't get employed or paid on equal terms as Whites or aquire credit.

However Obama convinced the White majority to support his efforts to lead this country is pure genius. Whether he wins or loses, just the odds of him being where he is now has no historic match. Truly amazing!
