Obama wasn't running this time in 2006, either.

Officially he didn't enter the Presidential race until 2007 and all throughout 2006 he said that he wasn't running for President.

He was picked for a 2008 Presidential run before the Senate run. The Senate was only to give him more credibility and name recognition.

Her presidential bid may or may not come to fruition, but much like Obama was in 2006, she's clearly planting the seeds for one while denying her interest for the time being.

Elizabeth has repeatedly said she isn't running. And Hillary supporters claim that she says she isn't going to run. There is a but difference. President Obama denied he was running at the same point in 2006.

Warren for president!
