Then Senator Barack Obama was extremely excited by his victory in the North Carolina Democratic primary on May 6, 2008.
On Tuesday, the Drudge Report posted video of a very energized Obama onboard his campaign plane.
WATCH:
Drudge ran the headline, “Obama Flaunts Erection to Female Reporters,” and while the video makes it hard to tell if that’s officially the case, these photos make it clear the President is actually a huge, concealed-carry advocate.
At least, he was on the morning of May 7, 2008.
In one photo, snapped by Getty photographer Mark Williams, Obama is smiling right at the bewildered and amused press corps.

Several women can be heard laughing in the video, as well as quietly urging another woman to get out of the way of their line of sight.

Obama won the North Carolina primary with 56 percent of the vote compared to Hillary Clinton’s 41 percent, a much lengthier margin of victory than predicted by most erection election experts.
