German politician, Philipp Rösler, cannot escape the notice of an unrepentant celebrator of global racial diversity.

Rösler is the only non-white member of Germany Chancellor, Angela Merkel's new cabinet.

The politician and physician is the quintessential immigrant success story. He was born in Vietnam and migrated to Germany before he was one, after being adopted from a Catholic orphanage.

Rösler attended high school and Hannover Medical School in Germany. He is a physician.

The leader of the liberal and business-friendly Freedom Democratic Party (FDP) in Lower Saxony, Rösler is also considered to be one of Germany's rising political stars.

In a world that's changing and embracing more and more diversity, Philipp Rösler might just be Germany's Barack Obama.
