    If you are a racist and think like a racist - you ask these kinds of questions.

    For ordinary folks who truly believe all men are created equal -

    "risky":

    adjective

    1. involving risk or danger; "skydiving is a hazardous sport"; "extremely risky going out in the tide and fog"; "a wild financial scheme" [syn: hazardous]

    2. not financially safe or secure; "a bad investment"; "high risk investments"; "anything that promises to pay too much can't help being risky"; "speculative business enterprises" [syn: bad]

  • No...enough with this racist garbage. If you don't want to vote for Obama, fine...don't. It's the freedom of choice that we have. And it's great. Obama even said it himself on that NBC Nightly News interview (really good interview btw, check it out) that he understands that he is "risky" as opposed to McCain. McCain has been around 20 years longer then Obama...and let's face it, it is a white politician, which we have had since democracy began in America..and we are still propsering vs. a black politician who has uncertainties about him. It's fair and just...there's nothing racist about it.

    Oh get of the dang race thing & talk issues. Why not support his platform. Make an agrument for his programs, tax, energy, war etc & quit throwing the race thing out there. Obama supporters complain about race but then turn right around & use it themselves. This really shows how you support his platform.

    From the many post I've seen many seem to prefer Obama soley because of his race and not his credentials. Republicans are voting for McCain because he is better qualified and has endured the test of time and not because of his color.

    I'm sure it might be for some but I wouldn't assume that was true for anyone who happens to say it. Quite frankly a lot of those folks don't vote Dem anyway.

    Not for me...I don't need any more than what is.....

    he has way too many ties to the middle east that are not clear for me to trust him...

    he talks like a racist...

    he is absurdly inexperienced...I could go on and on...but that is just for starters.
