I think you missed the "prodigy" part - obviously there are failures, dropouts, etc. at every socioeconomic and educational level, but I'm nearly 100% certain that the rates are lower for rich kids performing at a measurably high rate, and that Obama's message of effort, self-reliance and hope is intended to resonate with those who don't necessarily receive those messages currently.
That's a good thing. Coming from a ground-breaking political leader who carries cachet with young people, and who embodies some of these qualities through his very existence in office, I'm on board with the message, even if the implementation is bizarre.
