Did Barack Obama run against George W Bush for President?
Obama was a Democrat hopeful in the 2004 election, losing in the primaries to John Kerry. I believe Obama actually spoke at the convention. Technically speaking: if he beat out John Kerry, he would've been running against Bush. Since all of his "mistakes" (in eyes of mainstream media) occured in the second term, it is safe to assume that Bush would've won in a landslide. Another whatif...
