Civil Rights Icon (Andrew Young) Calls Obama Too Young

[06pilot]

I live in Atlanta and am in the same chapter as Andy Young (although he doesnt come to too many meetings) I have to say that I am shocked by his statements, but I still respect him.

Andrew Young is getting older and his filters have become loosened. He attended out convention in Atlanta (his wife is a soror was a conference co-cordinator and member of the national committee I chaired.) He spoke at our public meeting and made some eye-opening statements like referring to a woman's breast as titties. He also wore a suit and gym shoes.

Its the Cosby factor. As you get older, you care less about what people think and are more inclined to speak your mind. My mother in law is like this. She has been there and done that...

*lol* He strikes me as a person who probably referred to the Mondale/Ferraro Democratic ticket for the '84 presidential elections as "Fritz and Tits" (as it was so nicknamed) on a very regular basis. *lol again*

He also wore a suit and gym shoes.

Ron Paul wore suits with tennis shoes on more than a few occasions (although they are black so as to not be so conspicuous). But since both of them are in their 70s, I guess as old men they figure they don't need to give a flip what people think about their footwear. Who knows?

Or they have bad feet.
