This is an out and out LIE. Obama gave the keynote address at the Democratic national convention in '04, AND FROM THAT VERY MOMENT, people knew he was looking toward the presidency. Read it for yourself at wikipedia.
Obama's keynote speech to the 2004 Democratic National Convention sparked expectations that he would eventually run for U.S. President.[103] Speculation on a 2008 presidential run intensified after Obama's decisive U.S. Senate election win in November 2004, prompting him to tell reporters: "I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years."

Now, given your extremely limited intellect, let me explain this to you in even greater detail so that you can understand it. Obama's keynote address took place BEFORE his election to the senate, and as the article indicates, speculation about his presidential candidacy arose PRIOR to his election to the senate. And he even stated that he would NOT run for national office in four years, which was an all out lie on his part. Now, is this effecting his presidential bid now? Of course not.
Now, I don't expect you to retract your scurrilous little lying temper tantrum, but that's because you are a wussy turd with no honor. Now get lost. You've been stinking up this thread with your garbage far too long now.
Look, there's a a LOT of difference between what works for a Dem and what a GOPer can get away with; not to mention TWO WHOLE YEARS!
You may imagine that you know and understand politics and how it's played, but you don't.....you don't at all.
Whilst talking about LIMITED INTELLIGENCE, it helps to have more than 3 working brain cells. Ergo, until and unless you manage to get a few more little grey cells fired up, you should refrain from pointing a finger at someone else; dear. ;^)
Oh you poor, poor baby, are you going to hold your breath until your turn quite blue and kick your wee heels into the floor? Perhaps you had best hold your breath, since the stench you smell, is emanating from you!
