I am pretty certain I could say that about a lot of things that Donald Trump said, too. The person I was conversing with would not take that well as, to them, everything Trump says should be taken literally.

Of course, we all know he chose not to run for a third consecutive
term. Although he did not say why, we all know the truth - his wife
would not let him.
They did not destroy your country. It was Trump who tried to subvert democracy
by attempting a coup; not Biden, not Obama. I remember conservatives being very concerned that Obama was going to attempt to run for an illegal third term -- but when it came down to it those fears never materialized, not even remotely close. But when your guy tries to illegally retain power, it's apparently no big deal.

Obama once said that he would like to run for a third term but, since he could not, that he would like to have someone else who would run and be the face of the office while he was the one in the background actually getting things done.
Since he came right out and said it...
So now of course some believe that the "someone else" in Obama's scenario could be Biden.

He acknowledged that he could not, and he never tried.
Aside from that, all presidents have advisors, and many have consulted with
former presidents from both sides of the aisle.
There are even photos of Trump being brought up to speed by Obama.

Obama is not the president.

Obama would be a good resource for advice on presidential matters.
However, he is not on Biden's staff and has not been particularly active in
Biden's administration, if at all.
He acknowledged that he could not, and he never tried.Not true. What he said is if he would run for another term he would
win. And that the USSC would not make any ruling in the matter, so as
not to go against the will of the people.

He acknowleged he could not run for a legit third term. In the same conversation, he also acknowledged that he would like to run for a secret third term by having someone else run that he could manipulate. I do not believe he acknowledged that he could not do that.Obama once said that he would like to run for a third term but, sin could not, that he would like to have someone else who would run an the face of the office while he was the one in the background actua getting things done.He acknowledged that he could not, and he never tried.

He did not try, despite his adamance that he would win if he did.
It was more of a thought experiment than a threat.
So you are relying on what we don't know to make this accusation?
When the idea comes straight out of the horse's mouth, how can you blame some people for wondering about it?

My recollection is that:
(1) I did accuse Obama of saying he wished he could run for a third term and, since he can't, he wished he could find someone to run that would let him run things in the background. There is video evidence of this one so I
feel pretty confident about it.
(2) I said that, because of (1), I can see where some people wonder if it didn't happen. I didn't say it happened.
It is not like Limbaugh, or his modern equal, said that and got people thinking about it. Obama himself said it during a TV interview.

I see. Kind of like, "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you can find the 30,000 emails that are missing?"
