2. He's a bit baffling. If Obama is so inexperienced, why did Young

contribute to his campaign? Also begs the question why he contributed to the blivet, too. :shrug:

7. Because you obviously haven't read the linked article

""It's not a matter of being inexperienced. It's a matter of being young," Young said. "There's a certain level of maturity ... you've got to learn to take a certain amount of (expletive)."

Young went on to say that Obama needs a protective network that he currently lacks _ a quality that could hurt him if he were to be elected. He said Hillary Clinton already has that kind of network, including her husband to back her up.

"There are more black people that Bill and Hillary lean on," Young said. "You cannot be president alone. ... To put a brother in there by himself is to set him up for crucifixion. His time will come and the world will be ready for a visionary leadership.""

10. Gee, thanks for that, but still doesn't explain why Young contributed to Obama's

campaign if he thinks he's too young.

4. He is right.

5. Andrew Young is too old to know what he is talking about...

Ageism works both ways.

And BTW, I'm kidding about his age - just making a point.

9. In recent years, Andrew Young has defended Paul Wolfowitz

and denounced Jewish, Arab and Korean grocers. I wouldn't put too much store by his opinion.

11. he also said Bill Clinton had dated more Black women than Barack...

which is probably true since when Barack married Michelle he apparently got it that you were supposed to STOP dating, however, Bill took his vows to Hillary as a green light to nail all the 'new p---y' he could get his hands on...

15. Busting out laughing.

Poor Big Dog.........LOL

[madrchsod]

12. john kennedy was 43 when he was elected

bobby kennedy was 43 when he was murdered

lincoln was 51 when he was elected

obama will be 47 if he gets elected

who is to say how old some one has to be to lead the nation.

13. The constitution says

he's not so maybe Young needs take it up with the constitution.

[earthlover]

16. Headline: Young says Teddy Roosevelt and JFK too young!

How friggin patronizing!

[Connie_Corleone]

17. Last time I checked, 35 was the youngest age to run for president.

What about JFK? I guess he was too young too, huh?

He can say whatever he wants to say. That doesn't mean that what he's saying makes any damn sense.

18. Andy Young just has penis envy.

Oops, candidate envy. Sorry.

:blush:

19. One name...JFK.
