President Obama got high praise from Jimmy Carter former national security adviser on his comprehension of foreign policy.
Still, Zbigniew Brzezinski had some words of caution for the current commander in chief about his meeting next week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Obama let himself be “humiliated” last time Bibi visited.
“Prior to the elections, they’ll be tempted to strike,” Brzezinski said of Israeli action toward Iran’s nuclear program on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” Sunday. “And this is why I think the president, when he talks on to Netanyahu on March 5th, might take into account the fact that, first of all, he was humiliated the last time Netanyahu was around, and the president of the United States shouldn’t be so humiliated, and that he represents the American national interests.”
Zakaria noted that Brzezinski has given Obama sort of a “mixed grade” through his tenure.
“My view, however, is the following: one, he really understands the world better than any other politician,” Brzezinski said. “And I wouldn’t even waste time comparing him to what we hear from the Republican candidates for presidency, because that’s so unrealistic and so primitive that it’s embarrassing.”
He questioned whether Obama has the self-confidence to use that grand understanding well, saying of the Mideast peace process, “When push came to shove, he didn’t try.”
But Brzezinski said he would support Obama’s re-election “without question” this year.
“I mean, look at those Republican debates. I must say I am literally — I literally feel embarrassed as an American when I see those people orate,” he said. “One of them sounds like a medieval Savonarola. Another one is trying to explain why he has some of his wealth located in the Cayman Islands. And someone else would go back to 1780. And then there is someone who is using his credentials as a repudiated speaker of the Congress to be president. I mean, this is just embarrassing.”
When your claim to fame is as National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter how can you expect anything you say to be taken seriously?
Taking into consideration the impugned political relationship shared by these three stooges, the two worst US presidents in history, one Zbigniew Brzezinski, noted by Wikipedia as a Polish American political scientist, geostrategist, and statesman who served as United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981, the quote about Obama's unique depth of understand of world affairs has to resonate with abject pejorative ridicule.
Brzezinski: Obama ‘Understands Disney World Better Than Any Other Politician’
THIS FREAKING PUKE BREZINSKI HELPED CARTER GIVE IRAN TO THE MULLAHS-—— why is this POS given any credence? He helped the Islamic fundamentalists get their start and now the world is plagued by them
Obama understand the world better than any other politician?
WTF is this guy smoking?
Jimmy Carter’s advisor is not in a strong position to hold such arrogance. I lived through the Carter years and the embarassment was our government’s position in the world. The Soviets were in Afghanistan, Cubans in Angola, Nicaragua fell and Israel was our major enemy per Carter and Brzhinski.
Note to self: Take steps to insulate myself from the fatal stupidity of Brezinski.
Has Zig suffered a stroke?
Brzezinski is a trilateral, one-world government scumbag of which 0bama is tool.
Brzezinski: Obama ‘Understands the World Better (though the Liberal Blame America mindset) Than Any Other Politician’
I was an adult living in Europe when this dunce was working for Carter and things were really just peachy then..they did a great job giving Iran to the Mullah’s and killing a lot of American’s in the process.
If we wanted to send Brezinlick back to Poland they wouldn’t take him.
Hey BREZINSKI get off your Knees and get Obama’s pecker out of your mounth. W-H-A-T A-N I-D-I-O-T!!!!!!
Oh yes! Jimmy Carter has such a winning foreign policy!
Obama doesn’t know shit...
At this point, with the overwhelming evidence we have to the contrary, anyone who makes reference to Obama being intelligent must be assumed to be ignorant as is Obama.
What is embarrassing, Zbig, is that you are just as utterly effing clueless as your dumbass blonde daughter!
Barry doesn’t understand that we don’t want to be like the rest of the world and he is trying us there!
Barry doesn’t understand that we don’t want to be like the rest of the world and he is trying to take us there!
...but I’m sure his daughter’s reporting is right down the middle.
