Yes, he was. For all intents and purposes, he's been running for president since he gave that speech at the DNC and the media started pimping him. The Senate seat was just a means to an end, "dumb ass".
That's news to the rest of the world.
Why don't you show us the PROOF of his candidacy in 2005, dumb ass? The rest of us saw the announcement made in January of '07.
Well, I would suspect people like McCain and Biden have known these guys for more than 5 minutes, unlike Osbama.
Before it was a "lifelong buddies" that was your requirement, now it is 20+ years in the senate. Make up your mind, dumb ass.
The fact of the matter is that Obama has met these leaders and shown himself capable on the world stage.
I don't think a two year head start at making the rounds pressing flesh and saying, "Barak Obama, Rush Chairman, damn glad to meet ya!" counts for much when it comes down to it.
So you are privy to the private conversations that took place between Obama and the leaders of these countries, eh?
Why don't you tell us what else went on when they spoke? When did the wife and kids come up? There seems to have been a lot more than that said in the very public press conference between Sarkozy and Obama. Must of missed that one, eh, Goatboy?
In addition, I STILL haven't heard of the time Sarah Palin has spent with world leaders...be it 5 hours or 5 seconds.
The world believes in a lot of stupid things. Heck, just look at all the religious believers out there, dumb ass.
The rest of the world can't be as smart as you, Slick.
After all, you advocated another Hitler as a suitable American president.
What a wonderful it would be if you died in a plane crash.
