If George really had Obama’s genetic characteristics he would be a leader of people not a recluse. The fact that he is a recluse is telling. I’m not making a moral judgement, but the if someone with outstanding personal skills finds himself in George’s situation he will work with what he has and rise to the height his environment will allow him to.

There is nothing wrong with being a recluse, but you have to consider that there are some people who live in the US and choose to live like a recluse too.

I agree with your point that the US provides more opportunities, but I think the logic by which you arrive at it is not exactly correct.
