I remember an article from a long time ago talking about state senator obama being likely as a presidential. Seems like it was 2003, maybe 2004. I don’t think there is/was any big conspiracy to get him in. I think it is/was a blatant in your face attack. There are too many people in this country too stupid to get that.
I have no doubt. That 2004 speech at the DNC convention. Sometime after that he started getting his documents like his Selective Service registration squared away. (Those here on student-Visas didn’t have to register for Selective Service. hmmmm)
