3. His grandfather also figures prominently in his memoir
I picked up "Dreams From my Father" after hearing the guy speak at the Democratic Nat'l Convention, and remember being impressed by how completely his grandfather embraced him, in spite of what was, back in the early 1960's, his "socially-unacceptable" mixed race.

But in essence, you're right - the guy is a product of strong women, and certainly married one. I am constantly impressed by Michelle, and how her mom moved the family from blue collar to the White House.
