When President Obama was an undergraduate, he had often been interested in politics. It is not clear whether he knew back then that one day, he would become a political candidate, but he certainly wanted to learn more about America's history; and America's political history remains a large, and very important, part of the story. As it turned out, becoming more familiar with the study of politics was very useful to him: when he finally decided to become a candidate, he had a good understanding of the political process (his study of law also helped him with this). From his studies, he gained a greater insight into what worked for candidates in the past, and what mistakes a politician should avoid.
