There's a definite risk with Obama. I read one Freeper comment that he liked Obama, and that's what's scary about him. It's true. I disagree with him on every issue, but he's been complimentary to both Reagan and Bush II, and has avoided creating enemies.

I don't like the idea of being led over the cliff by a charismatic person any more than being led over the cliff by a disagreeable person (Hillary.)

I'd still rather take the risk with Obama. The Clinton's are like Jason in Friday the 13th. They just keep rising from the grave.

You hit it. That IS what’s scary about him.

Likability simply should not be a criteria, but it is. I mean, Charles Manson apparently had enough charisma to hoodwink a bunch of kids into deplorable deeds. No comparison, of course, but it’s alarming how many votes a silver tongue and slick style can garner.

Not to mention how many ignorant American voters are willing to be bought with promises that can’t be kept (and shouldn’t be made in the first place).

I’d much rather vote for a mean SOB who will tell me the truth and keep me safe.
