McCain or Obama ... You decide!

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't even like to put any sort of energy, even jokingly, toward those sorts of thoughts. Here's a guy who clearly *does* know that he's taking a very extreme risk of his life, his family's life, and he's doing so because he feels he can make a difference. Yes, there undoubtedly are some crazies out there that will try to harm him, but I prefer to think positively.

I agree with Chip whole heatedly on this...

The fact that he's black might have some people up in arms, but honestly I don't think there has ever been - or ever will be - a President that some crazy nut-job doesn't have some kind of issue with.

Being one of the most powerful people in the world, comes with assassination plots and attempts...regardless of your ethnicity. Regan was shot at several times and he was white. I'm sure there were attempts on Clinton and both Bush's that we just never heard about.

My point being that EVERY President faces the possibility of assassination attempts, be it from a foreign enemy or a crazed American Citizen; we just have to trust that the Secret Service will do their job in keeping the leader of the free world safe...they've done a pretty good job so far.

And if John McCain gets elected he'll have to deal with Sara Palin hiding behind doors, jumping out and yelling "BOO!" all the time.
