I can’t believe I’m about to defend Clinton but I just can’t see anyone, even Jimmy Carter’s national security adviser<\/a> thinking that Clinton has less knowledge of foreign affairs than Obama especially given his missteps of the last month:<\/p>\n

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.
\nObama “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.”
\n“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.”
\nBrzezinski, 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<\/span>. “Being a former first lady doesn’t prepare you to be president<\/span>,” Brzezinski said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a two time Senator she has a lot more experience than Obama.
\nOh.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 \ud83d\ude41 Not really happy about that!
