Civil Rights Icon Calls Obama Too Young

" Civil rights icon Andrew Young says Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is too young and lacks the support network to ascend to the White House.

"In a media interview posted online, Young also quipped that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has her husband behind her, and that "Bill is every bit as black as Barack."

"He's probably gone with more black women than Barack," Young said of former President Clinton, drawing laughter from a live television audience. Young, 75, was quick to follow his comment on Bill Clinton with the disclaimer, "I'm clowning."

Technically, Bill's mother had to go with as many black men as Obama's mother did for Bill to bas as black as Barack.

He'd be pretty much the same age as Clinton was on Inauguration Day.

Funny how we haven't seen any of these black Clinton women. Joke? With a wink and nod?

Oprah's come forward - she's not ashamed of her friendship with Obama.Why haven't Clinton's black women friends come forward?

Maybe he used one of his great lines on them - what was it he said to Paula Jones... anyone remember?
