Prior to becoming an ex-President, even prior to being President, Barack Obama dealt with, lived with, and yet thrived with many issues any single one of which could, would, and do stop others.  This included race, poverty, eventually being raised by a single parent, then being raised by grandparents (whose race is different from his), living overseas with Mom and step-parent/step-siblings (of a different race, religion, and culture), marijuana use, et cetera, et al, ad nauseum.  Yet, despite all of those - or perhaps, because, of all of those - he thrived and he rose and he succeeded "with malice toward none."
