Barack ObamaIn an interview that airs
this weekend on the BLOOMBERG TELEVISION(R) program "Political Capital with
Al Hunt," former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski threw his
support behind Barack Obama's presidential candidacy.
Brzezinski told Al Hunt that "(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, one of the most influential foreign-policy experts
in the Democratic Party and who was National Security Advisor to President
Jimmy Carter, went on to say that "Obama is clearly more effective and has
the upper hand. He has a sense of what is historically relevant and what is
needed from the United States in relationship to the world."
Brzezinski, 79, also dismissed the notion that former first lady and
New York Senator Hilary Clinton, 59, is more seasoned than Obama, 46,
saying "being former first lady doesn't prepare you to be president."
