Seriously speaking, Obama Supporters, dont you think Obama is a "risky president"?

I'm voting for Obama tomorrow but honestly don't you think Obama is risky president? I think he will pull thru with turning around the economy and the foreign policy but you think Obama will actually pull thru with a lot of what he is promising. My major concern with foreign policy and the economy I just hope he does focus mostly on those things and not lose focus because of his previous promises.

I also want to mention he does lack experience yes, Mccain sucks but don't you think we may be running in the arms of Obama just because hes not Mccain/ Bush?

Obama supporters do you feel his a bit risky?

Update:

I just stated that I'll vote for Obama tomorrow, nov 4th. I'm just asking democratic opinion. No i did not vote Bush, and I'm not a republican! Like i said I just want to know if other dems think hes just a little risky or to give some clarification on why hes not really risky.

    No, I don't think Obama is risky at all. I think he represents a new generation of political thinking, one that seems to resonate with an amazing cross section of Americans as well as with people around the world. I also think his ideas make sense. Investing in alternative energy and a greener environment will foster new technologies, new industries, and a better economy. Fixing health care will probably reduce the cost of healthcare by up to 50%, to what people are paying in other countries.

    I also think the way Obama has run his campaign, the fact that he was magna *** laude from the best university in the world, is an expert at Constitutional law, and is one of the great orators means he has the brains and leadership skills to lead us.

    I don't think he's risky, but he really does represent change, and change is always a little scary, but also very exciting.

    No, I don't consider him risky. He's an exceptionally bright man who has put together an incredible team and run an amazing campaign.

    I know McCain is viewed as the safe choice, but I don't buy that argument. Even if you do consider Obama somewhat risky, sometimes you have to take a risk to get rewards in life and Obama is a "risk" well worth taking.

    Obama has charisma and I see his intelligence and base of knowledge is impressive. Some of the claims against him seem risky if taken out of context. McCain has several things going for him but his health is risky. If McCain had made a better choice for VP, he would have had a better chance.

    Any pick is risky, because we don't know what is good experience to be President. It's something of a unique job.

    He has shown discipline and judgment in his campaign, and he has surrounded himself with a very talented group of advisors. Some of his proposed programs will never get through Congress, in part because they are too liberal and in part because we don't have much money to spare right now.

    Obama is a bright, interesting man. He has a chance to be a very good President.

    No i don't feel any risk having him for a president. He knows what he is doing. He knows what his plans are. He has told has about them. Has mccain really done any of that? No. having him as a president [mccain] IS risky. he will pass and then that lady, palin, will take over..then we will be even more doomed.

    obama is a smart man. he is going to fix everything. he knows what its like to be one of us. palin is the one who spent 120,000 on herself for..clothes and make up. thats more 50 times the cost my family spends on a year for "unnecessary / want" stuff! what a joke

    You're always taking a chance whenever you vote for a new president. However, with that said, I think Obama will make a good president and though I'm sure he'll be tested as Biden said, he'll get us through any crisis will equanimity and he'll make the right decision when the time comes.

    There's always risk involved, if McCain wins tomorrow he might put us through another war and no one wants that. I doubt Obama will put us through a war unless it is an attack on us similar to 9/11. He does lack some executive experience and that is troubling but he is the overall better candidate. All the socialist B.S. is just gar-bage, that's all it is.

    No. I think McCain is a risky president because he hasn't shown that he even understands why he wants to be president. His campaign has been a pastiche of arguments against Obama and not one single argument for himself.

    So that tells me that we would suffer another four years of drift, which we can ill-afford at this point.

    I think this guy will put us the rest of the way in the crapper. Soak the rich, what a novel concept to pay for programs that we cant afford. The only problem is after the moneys tapped out from the rich, then the middle class is next. It never stops.....

    McCain sucks, but you've got to be kidding if you fall for Obama's hot air.

    If you like war and economic depression, vote for a McCain/Palin administration.

    Obama is nowhere near as risky as voting for McCain.
