I don't call 15 years "shortly" except in glacial terms. It took him 15 years to come back from Vietnam in 1970 to go to Washington in 1985. That's a long time in terms of human lifespans.
But really, I don't see what any of that has to do with your original point. Kerry and Obama were both tested in the Senate. But historically, Americans don't elect Presidents out of the Senate. The last one before Obama was Kennedy, and before that you have to go to Harding.
