Former Atlanta Mayor and Ambassador Andrew Young explained why he does not support Sen. Barack Obama to win the Democratic nomination for president - until "2016."
"It is not a matter of being inexperienced," Young told an Atlanta crowd this fall. "It is a matter of being young. There is a certain matter of maturity ... You have to have a protective network around you... Leadership requires suffering. And I would like to see Barack's children get a little older, see, because they're going to pick on them."
"I want Barack to be president," he responded with a long pause, "....in 2016."
He also said that while Obama's rival Sen. Hillary Clinton is surrounded by quite a few black advisors Obama has very few.
He also joked that author Toni Morrison may have been on to something when she referred to former President Bill Clinton as the "first black president."
"Bill is every bit as black as Barack," he said. "He has probably gone out with more black women than Barack."

I would like to see Obama really cream Young and Hillary on this Issue alone and really play up the one black man/one woman and wife issue! Not that I want him to win the whitehouse, but just out of the sheer immorality Young is revealing about himself!
Oddly enough, when I clicked through to the article, it showed an ad paid for by John McCain 2008. Which immediately brought to mind McCain's 1998 "joke too bad to print", at Chelea's expense. So much for picking on the kids.
Does Barack have any association with Sharpton or Jesse? If not, maybe that is why he is not ready to be president, according to Andrew’s standards.

Good point.
Can’t have an uppity younger black stepping off the democrat plantation and bypassing the de-facto owners of the BLacks-As-Victims franchise.
Especially when he may be poised to move into a position of ultimate power.

Hillary is a racist. Of all the women she has had sex with, I bet none of them are black.
