Well, it's a matter of commitment, and on that, I do not rate those people as dangerous as Chertoff, Cheney and Bush.
I would rate Hillary the most dangerous of those three, and Biden the safest. Obama is a light weight, a pretty face, the second coming of Sidney Poitier, and just as qualified to be president.
