LBJ was "self made" in the same sense Clinton is - i.e., LBJ milked the political system and used his power to gain vast wealth.

Actually Obama had to overcome a lot. His father left the family. His middle name is Hussein and no African American had ever been elected before.

LBJ was half self-made...and 100% a very terrible human being. Read the 2 books by Philip F. Nelson for the details - and remember the USS Liberty....
