Obama said he was not experienced enough to run?
disclaimer: I am an Hillary supporter, but not an Obama hater. I am waiting, watching and listening.

Did anyone see the clip of Obama on CNN tonight. I didn't catch the whole thing. I believe it was from a 2004 press conference. It seemed as if Obama was explaining that he was not going to run for president because he would have to start right away and he felt he did not have enough experience for the job.

Since this is my personal #1 concern about an Obama nomination, I would really like to watch the clip fully...or at least the transcript?

I have already done my own search and have come up empty. Can someone have pity on me and provide a link if they have one...You all may have already discussed this...

thanks in advance

2. He did not say that
His words were more to the effect that how could he comment on running for president in November 2004 when he had no experience in the senate yet. Well, he has the experience now.
