I can't believe I'm about to defend Clinton but I just can't see anyone, even Jimmy Carter's national security adviser thinking that Clinton has less knowledge of foreign affairs than Obama especially given his missteps of the last month:
Zbigniew Brzezinski, one of the most influential foreign-policy experts in the Democratic Party, threw his support behind Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, saying the Illinois senator has a better global grasp than his chief rival, Hillary Clinton.As a two time Senator she has a lot more experience than Obama.
Obama ``recognizes that the challenge is a new face, a new sense of direction, a new definition of America's role in the world,'' Brzezinski said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital with Al Hunt.''
``Obama is clearly more effective and has the upper hand,'' Brzezinski, who was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser, said. ``He has a sense of what is historically relevant, and what is needed from the United States in relationship to the world.''
Brzezinski, 79, dismissed the notion that Clinton, 59, a New York senator and the wife of former President Bill Clinton, is more seasoned than Obama, 46. ``Being a former first lady doesn't prepare you to be president,'' Brzezinski said.
Oh.my.heck! I just noticed Obama is only 46! I hope he doesn't win, this will be the first time I'm older than the president :-( Not really happy about that!
