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."

sounds like he’s a racist.
I think in the Carter Admin. Totally worthless. Thank you to all of them we’re in the mess we are in the middle east...
I don’t think Bill has raped as many black women as he has white women though.
But it's Hillary that's running.
Although...perhaps she can make the same claim.
Andrew Young supports age discrimination.
Reading the full article exposes Andrew young as a Racist, Misogynist, S.o.B.
I know who Rob is but it’s hard to believe this isn’t satire although it looks as though it’s legit. If it is then Young’s handlers should take him out to the home and keep him there.
Who's the "they" that are gonna pick on Barack's children?
Blacks? Because they're not "black enough"?
When someone thinks you are less than Bill Clinton (at any age) they deserve to be beaten to a bloody pulp, Barack.
Forwarded to Rush...fingers crossed...
What are you saying, Andy? Blacks are supposed to be dogs and Obama loses "black points" for staying with one woman? Way to go, moron!
Another self-importaint liberal shares his skewed view of reality. Where do I go to get that 3 minutes back.
Should make future Democratic debates more interesting as candidates try to top each other in the number of black women (women of every race?) that they’ve bedded.
Oh, I don't think there's any doubt of that.
"Then"? Bubba also dated Obama???
What an arrogant, liberal, steaming pile of mushy-headed, Clinton-licking, racist, elitist codswallop!
Andrew Young’s Top Four Reasons Obama Not Ready For The Presidency:
Not old enough.
Not black enough.
Not experienced enough.
NOT CLINTON ENOUGH!!!!!!
Obama is not “Young”. Andrew is Young. Obama is just inexperienced. Hillary does have decades more experience, lying, cheating and thieving over Obama.
Then when?
When is then?
Is then sooner than now?
