No kidding. I wasn't even looking for him, but I recognized the description from the stunning resumes of other COs most recently in the news.
    "Through his remarkable ability to master languages, media and ideas, his insights into the importance of organization and social sructures, and his intuitive grasp of the needs and possibilities of his era, he was able to forge an alliance between thought and action which made his name a wonder of its age."
No, it wasn't Obama in late 20th century, it was John Calvin in the 16th century. "A life of John Calvin," by Alister E. McGrath, Basil Blackwell, 1990, preface. But why go for reformer when you're already the Messiah?
